Description
This edition was prepared in order to help the student decipher the
complex dialectical language of this most characteristic play of the
Quintero brothers, which is riddled with the popular speech of southern
Spain. The introduction has four chapters. It begins with an
explanation of the social circumstances in Spain at that time. Followed by a short biography of the authors ; and then, a third chapter
dealing with the characteristics of their works in relation to the
literary mainstream of Spain. The last chapter is a summary and
analysis of the play and its characters. Finally, the annotation in
English, in which special care was taken to identify all difficult
passages; translate them and place them on the same page in which
they occur, in such a way as to achieve a balance between the footnotes and the glossary, to make it easier and more enjoyable to read
the work.
