Learning Outcomes
| Via the study of texts by Lope de Vega, Tirso de Molina and Calderón de la Barca we will consider the social and ideological factors which shaped Golden Age plays, the performance and acting traditions which dramatists and performers worked with and developed, and the themes they obsessively explored. The aim is to introduce students to a theatrical tradition which in its range, power and impact is second to none
