This is the second volume of a Spanish translation of Adolf Friedrich von Schack’s history of literature and dramatic art in Spain. A German scholar and diplomat, Schack devoted years to studying the Spanish stage, tracing the development of theatre from its medieval origins through the flowering of the Golden Age.
The text is in Spanish. The work surveys playwrights, performance traditions, and the cultural conditions that shaped Spanish drama, with particular attention to figures such as Lope de Vega and Calderón. Combining literary criticism with historical context, Schack’s study was influential in bringing Spanish theatrical history to a wider European audience. This volume continues his detailed examination of the genres, conventions, and major works that defined one of the richest dramatic traditions in Europe.
