«El médico de su honra» is a drama by Pedro Calderón de la Barca, edited by D. W. Cruickshank (Castalia Ediciones, paperback, 224 pages, in Spanish).
The conflict of conjugal honour dominates the work: suspicion of infidelity activates a machinery of social and domestic violence. Cruickshank's edition analyses the metaphors and symbols, especially the medical imagery, and revises the traditional reading that saw the innocent wife as a necessary sacrifice.
Number 112 in the Clásicos Castalia collection. Edition, introduction and notes by D. W. Cruickshank; includes a biographical and critical introduction, selected bibliography, synopsis of versification and indexes.
For students of Spanish literature and readers interested in classical theatre and the Golden Age.
Spanish Golden Age playwright, author of Life Is a Dream, The Mayor of Zalamea and many autos sacramentales.
