'Likely to become a set text on Spanish courses in the UK, US and anywhere else that Golden Age drama features.'Alexander Samson, University College London‘Jonathan Thacker is to be highly commended for producing a thoroughly accessible edition of and companion to what is undoubtedly Lope’s greatest tragedy, and clearly one of the great plays of the early modern period that is finally, if belatedly, getting the recognition it deserves both on the page and on the stage.’Susan L. Fischer, Bucknell University, BSS, XCV (2018)
