«El caballero de Olmedo» is the play by Félix Lope de Vega, published by Austral in paperback (208 pages, in Spanish).
El caballero de Olmedo starts from the murder in 1521 of don Juan de Vivero at the hands of his neighbour Miguel Ruiz. Lope de Vega turns this event into a dramatic work in which love and death intertwine: the festive, springlike tone of the beginning shifts towards tragic omens. The text stands out for its lyrical tension and its famous ending.
Edition by Mª Mar Cortés Timoner, with a preliminary study, teaching material and textual commentary. Part of the Austral Educación collection.
Due to its pedagogical approach, it is an edition suitable for literature students and for those approaching classical Spanish theatre.
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”.
