Calderon And Ecclesiastical Drama

By Édouard Schuré

Book Overview

Calderon and Ecclesiastical Drama by Edouard Schure is a comprehensive study of the works of Spanish playwright Pedro Calderon de la Barca, specifically his plays with religious themes. The book explores Calderon's use of symbolism, his portrayal of religious figures, and his commentary on Catholic theology and doctrine. Schure also examines the historical and cultural context in which Calderon wrote, including the influence of the Counter-Reformation and the Spanish Inquisition. The book is an in-depth analysis of Calderon's contributions to the genre of ecclesiastical drama, and a valuable resource for scholars of Spanish literature and theatre.THIS 24 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Genesis of Tragedy and the Sacred Drama of Eleusis, by Edouard Schure.
