«El caballero de Olmedo» is the tragicomedy by Lope de Vega, edited by Felipe B. Pedraza Jiménez (Vicens Vives, paperback, 224 pages, in Spanish).
Don Alonso, a knight from Olmedo, courts Inés in Medina, but his love is surrounded by ill omens. Inspired by a popular 17th-century ballad, the play turns its ending, already known to the audience, into a source of tension: the shadow of death looms over love, honour and revenge.
From the Clásicos Hispánicos collection (no. 12), edited by Felipe B. Pedraza Jiménez with illustrations by Jesús Gabán Bravo. Includes prologue, notes and study; published by Vicens Vives in 2012.
Annotated school edition for secondary and baccalaureate students; includes supporting material for analysing the work.
Félix Lope de Vega y Carpio was a Spanish playwright, poet, and novelist who was a key figure in the Spanish Golden Age (1492–1659) of Baroque literature. In the literature of Spain, Lope de Vega is often considered second only to Miguel de Cervantes. Cervantes said that Lope de Vega was “The Phoenix of Wits” and “Monster of Nature”.
