Calderon And Ecclesiastical Drama

By Édouard Schuré

Book Overview

Calderon and Ecclesiastical Drama is a book written by Edouard Schure that delves into the works of the Spanish playwright Pedro Calderon de la Barca. The book analyzes Calderon's use of religious themes and motifs in his plays, particularly in his ecclesiastical dramas. Schure explores the cultural and historical context in which Calderon's plays were written and performed, and argues that they reflect the complex religious and political tensions of seventeenth-century Spain. The book also examines Calderon's influence on later writers and thinkers, including Friedrich Nietzsche and Miguel de Unamuno. Overall, Calderon and Ecclesiastical Drama offers a comprehensive study of the intersection of religion, politics, and art in Calderon's works.THIS 24 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Genesis of Tragedy and the Sacred Drama of Eleusis, by Edouard Schure.
