The conflict between Peribáñez, the sturdily independent peasant farmer, and the romantic, self-doubting nobleman is brilliantly presented against a background of a whole society, from peasant to king, in ...

Doña Juana, jilted by her lover Don Martín, follows him to Madrid, where, under the assumed name of Don Gil, he is ... Paperback. Price GB £18.00 Hardback. Price GB £35.00
	Aris & Phillips Hispanic Classics Calderon: Love is No Laughing Matter Translated with an Introduction and Commentary by Don Cruickshank and Seán Page~ Although Calderón's comedy has received rather less attention than the other genres in which he excelled, it is widely acknowledged that his comic plays are inrivalled among his contemporaries in terms of plot structure and technical expertise; they also explore contemporary issues to an extent which has not been appreciated. Love is no Laughing Matter is one of the best, in which the dramatist casts a sardonic eye on male chauvinism, ... Paperback. Price GB £15.00 Hardback. Price GB £35.00
