Contents:
Frontmatter -- Acknowledgments -- Table of contents -- 1. Defining the Baroque: Overview of Research, Outline of the Study's Thesis -- 2. Typologizing Remodeling and Restoration of the exemplum: Lope de Vega's El castigo sin venganza -- 3. Religious Drama as Corpus Christi Play: The auto sacramental as Condensed Manifestation of the Restored Discourse -- 4. Excursus: Ruptures, Changes, and Evolutions. Outline of the Medieval, the Renaissance, and the Mannerist Discourse -- 5. The Colonization of the New Worlds: Calderón's El príncipe constante -- 6. The Honor Case as 'Emblem' of a Damaged World: Calderón's El médico de su honra -- 7. Concluding Remarks -- References -- Index
Summary: This volume presents a new approach to Spanish Baroque drama, inspired by Foucauldian discourse archeology, whose rare fusion of meticulous philology and ambitious theory will be exciting and fruitful both for the specialist of Spanish literature and for anyone invested in the history of European thought. Detailed readings are dedicated to some of the most prominent plays by Lope de Vega and Calderón de la Barca, both autos sacramentales (El viaje del alma; El divino Orfeo; La lepra de Constantino) and comedias (El castigo sin venganza, El príncipe constante, El médico de su honra). The "archeological" perspective cast on the plays implies an integration of their discourse-historical "foils", from pagan antiquity through the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, as well as a discussion of related discourses, mainly theological, philosophical and historiographical. A separate "excursus" suggests a reconsideration of the common manner in which the discursive relation between the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, Mannerism and the Baroque is conceptualized.
