Spanish Golden Age drama

The Spanish Golden Age drama, spanning from the late 15th to the early 17th century, is a rich period in Spanish literature marked by the flourishing of theatrical production. Playwrights like Lope de Vega and Calderón de la Barca created complex, dynamic works that explored themes of honor, love, and societal conflict. Their plays often blended comedy and tragedy, featuring a mix of characters from noble to common folk. This era laid the foundation for modern Spanish theatre and influenced playwrights across Europe, highlighting the importance of dramatic storytelling in reflecting human experience and cultural identity.
