"If the curtain that CUP has raised embraces on the stage of this volume the examination of the Hispanic dramatic tradition as much as the continuation of international hispanism, the project should be received with applause from those of us who become members of the audience as much as participants in the cast of characters." --Boletin de la Real Academia Espanola (trans. from the original Spanish by Maria Delgado) Inhaltsverzeichnis Introduction Maria M.
