Belshazzar’s Feast
An Auto
“The first auto translated is ‘Belshazzar’s Feast’, a fortunate selection, for it is probably unsurpassed in dramatic effect and poetic description, and withal is much less encumbered with theology than most others”.
From an article in “The New York Nation”, by a distinguished professor of Cornell University, on “Mac-Carthy’s Translations of Calderon”.
