Endorsements
El castigo sin venganza (1631) is Lope de Vega's greatest tragedy. The dramatist, at the height of his powers, re-works an Italian short story to explore the complexities of human desire and the grim consequences of giving in to temptation. The play dramatises the adulterous relationship between the beautiful Casandra, duchess of Ferrara, and her step-son Federico, and the reaction of her husband, the duke, himself a flawed and ambiguous figure. This edition includes an introduction which sets the play in its historical and dramatic contexts but also focuses on elements of the genre with which new readers might be unfamiliar: performance norms, the poetry of the play and the linguistic differences in Golden Age Spanish. The text itself is accompanied by explanatory footnotes, an in-depth commentary and a glossary of less common words. These are informed by up-to-date scholarship on the play from both the Spanish and Anglophone worlds. While this edition of Lope's masterpiece will be of particular use to undergraduates who are new to Spanish Golden Age drama, it will also appeal to students at higher levels and all admirers of Spanish Golden Age theatre. -
