«El vergonzoso en palacio» is the play by Tirso de Molina published alongside «El condenado por desconfiado», in paperback by Planeta (240 pages, in Spanish).
The volume brings together two Golden Age dramas: the comedy of intrigue «El vergonzoso en palacio», centred on the shy Mireno and his amorous misunderstandings at court, and «El condenado por desconfiado», a theological drama about faith, freedom and destiny. Tirso's theatre reflects the Baroque solitude and disillusionment of his era, with characters torn between the earthly and the supernatural.
Edition, introduction and notes by Antonio Prieto. Number 47 in the Clásicos Universales Planeta collection. The original work «El vergonzoso en palacio» was published in 1624.
For readers of Spanish classical theatre and literature students who want an annotated edition with two representative titles by Tirso de Molina.
Gabriel Téllez, O. de M., also known as Tirso de Molina, was a Spanish Baroque dramatist and poet, as well as a Mercedarian friar, and Catholic priest. He is primarily known for writing The Trickster of Seville and the Stone Guest, the play from which the character Don Juan originates. His work also includes female protagonists and the exploration of sexual issues.
