Diez comedias del siglo de oro
DC
Alpern, HymenJosé MartelFirst published 19393 editions

This is an omnibus volume comprising ten of the best-known plays of the most representative Spanish dramatists of the Golden Age. The publication of this collection seems to be justifiable not only because each play has intrinsic literary merit, but also because there is no other similar anthology, and the individual plays are not readily obtainable and are expensive. Furthermore, the growing publication of omnibus volumes for the study of a foreign language and literature is a modern and popular trend in response to the recommendations of the Modern Foreign Language Study to combine in a single book the hundreds of pages of reading matter needed in a course. - Preface. En la historia de la literatura española se designa con el nombre de Siglo de Oro una época brillante que abarca la mayor parte de los siglos XVI y XVII. Durante ese tiempo, que coincide con la hegemonía militar yk política de España en Europa, brilla la poesía popular en los Romanceros, florecen los místicos, se desarrolla la novela picaresca, se cultiva el arte de la poesía lírica y aparece la obra inmortal de Cervantes. A este mismo período pertenece el apogeo de "la comedia española", el género literario más popular y más intensamente nacional, el que cautivó a las masas por su dinamismo y su facultad creadora, el arte que sirvió de espejo y escuela de las costumbres y produjo el mayor número de ideas y valores estéticos. - p. xiii.
