Dr Pring-Mill is one of the most eminent Calderón scholars, and this volume demonstrates the development of his critical thinking over a period of some forty years. The essays, collected in one volume for the first time, and fully revised and updated, include his classic exposition of the critical method for which he coined the term `análisis temático-estructural', and his comparison of Calderón's approach to the different media of auto and comedia. As a whole, the volume makes a major contribution to the study of Spain's greatest dramatist on the eve of his fourth centenary.
