	Aris & Phillips Hispanic Classics Calderón: Jealousy the Greatest Monster edited with an introduction and commentary by Ann L Mackenzie and José María Ruano de la Haza, and with verse translation by Ann L Mackenzie and Kenneth Muir As the title indicates, Pedro Calderón de la Barca's Jealousy tragically dramatizes the same key themes and emotions that preoccupied Shakespeare in Othello. His portrayal of the mind and passion of King Herod, a ruler traditionally vilified in Catholic Spain during Calderón's age, reveals a compassionate understanding and lack of prejudice. Through the madness of possessive love and jealousy, Herod first destroys his wife's love ... Paperback. Not yet published - advance orders taken. Price GB £18.00 Hardback.

	Aris & Phillips Hispanic Classics 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 ... Paperback. Price GB £15.00
	Aris & Phillips Hispanic Classics Tirso de Molina: The Trickster of Seville and the Stone Guest Translated with an Introduction and Commentary by Gwynne Edwards Tirso de Molina was, with Lope de Vega and Calderón, one of the great dramatists of 17th century Spain, which produced a theatre as vital rich and as varied as its Elizabethan counterpart. The Trickster of Seville is thoroughly representative of the drama of Spain's Golden Age: a drama of fast-moving action which set its face against classical precepts, broke the unities of time and place, cheerfully mixed the serious and the comic, ...

	Aris & Phillips Hispanic Classics Tirso de Molina: Jealous of Herself translated with an introduction by Harley Erdman Tirso de Molina's Jealous of Herself (c. 1622-23) is an ingenious comedy of disguise and deception, set in the streets, plazas and fashionable apartments of early 17th-century Madrid. Nearly forgotten for almost 400 years, the play is starting to gain attention today for its very modern perspective on male desire and the difficult situation placed on women who must live up to an ideal fantasy projected onto them. Much like another product ... Paperback. Not yet published - advance orders taken. Price GB £15.00 Hardback. Not yet published - advance orders taken. Price GB £35.00
	Aris & Phillips Hispanic Classics Tirso de Molina: Marta the Divine translated with an introduction by Harley Erdman Tirso de Molina's Marta the Divine (c. 1614-15) is a spirited comedy about an ingenious young woman who fakes religious piety in order to avoid an arranged marriage imposed upon her by her father. Marta's false religiosity becomes a cover for sneaking her boyfriend into her house and, to all intents and purposes, having a sexual relationship with him without her credulous father suspecting a thing. The stakes involved in this risky gambit ... Paperback. Not yet published - advance orders taken. Price GB £15.00 Hardback. Not yet published - advance orders taken. Price GB £35.00

Based on a popular Andalusian ballad, it tells the story of Mariana Pineda who was garrotted in 1831 under the reactionary regime of Ferdinand VII for embroidering a Liberal flag and refusing to betray her lover. Written during the dictatorship of Primo de Rivera, the political message would not have escaped Lorca's audience. But the play is primarily the work of a poet and ... Paperback.
