This collection contains three unique plays with the common theme of Corpus Christi. The plays revolve around the Christian festivals celebrated throughout Spain during the Middle Ages. The depiction of these events is done through both poetry and prose, highlighting the characteristic style of Pedro Calderón de la Barca, one of Spain's most prominent dramatists of the period.
This book is a collection of dramas that includes some of Calderon's most famous works such as El Principe Constante and El Secreto a Voces. Denis Florence MacCarthy has expertly translated these plays into English so that they can be enjoyed by a wider audience.
This biography of Percy Bysshe Shelley draws extensively on original sources, including letters and journals, to provide a detailed account of the poet's early life and the influences that shaped his work. MacCarthy's engaging style and deep understanding of Shelley's literary context make this an essential resource for anyone interested in Romantic literature.
