Lope de Vega: Fuente Ovejuna

Text, Translation, Introduction and Notes by Victor Dixon~

Fuente Ovejuna (C.1613) is the most famous and frequently
performed play by the creator of Spanish theatre, Lope de Vega
(1562-1635). Astonishingly for its period, it celebrates the
murder in 1476 of a nobleman, the Grand Commander of the Military
Order of Calatrava, by the peasants he had oppressed, and their
subsequent solidarity under torture. Fuente Ovejuna, however,
is less a history lesson or political tract than an optimistic
moral fable. Spanish text with facing-page translation, introduction and notes. 232p, b/w illus (Aris & Phillips 1989, reprinted
2005)~

Biographical note

Victor Dixon (Professor of Spanish, Trinity College, Dublin) is an experienced actor and producer. He refined his translation in a series of performances by the Samuel Beckett Centre for Drama and Theatre Studies in Dublin. His edition thus combines scholarly accuracy with a performable translation and reveals the glory of the classical Spanish theatre to students and theatre audiences alike.
