By Darnell H. Roaten

Book Overview

Wolfflin's Principles in Spanish Drama 1500-1700 is a book written by Darnell H. Roaten that explores the application of Heinrich Wolfflin's principles of art history to the Spanish drama of the 16th and 17th centuries. The book examines the ways in which Spanish playwrights such as Lope de Vega, Calderon de la Barca, and Tirso de Molina used the principles of contrast, balance, and unity to create their works. Roaten argues that these principles were essential to the development of Spanish drama and helped to shape its distinctive style. The book includes a detailed analysis of several key plays, as well as a discussion of the historical and cultural context in which they were written. Overall, Wolfflin's Principles in Spanish Drama 1500-1700 offers a unique and insightful perspective on the artistry and significance of Spanish theater during the early modern period.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
