Wolfflin's Principles In Spanish Drama 1500-1700

By Darnell H. Roaten

Book Overview

Wolfflin's Principles In Spanish Drama 1500-1700 is a book by Darnell H. Roaten that explores the principles of art historian Heinrich Wolfflin and their application to Spanish drama from the 16th to the 18th century. The book delves into the ways in which Spanish dramatists used principles of art and aesthetics in their plays, including the use of light and shadow, symmetry and asymmetry, and the balance between form and content. Roaten also examines the influence of Italian and French drama on Spanish theater during this period. Through close analysis of plays by authors such as Lope de Vega and Calderon de la Barca, the book offers a fresh perspective on the development of Spanish drama and its place within the broader context of European theater. The book is written in English and is intended for scholars and students of theater and Spanish literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
