Excerpt from Teatro Escogido de Calderón de la Barca: Con una Introducción y la Biografía

Fué Calder°n singularmente honrado por los principales señ°res de su tiempo, el conde duque de Olivares, los duques de Alba y del lnfantadb, el condestable de Castilla, y sobre todo p°r el rey - poeta Felipe IV, a quien el cult° de las musas hizo olvidar hart° dolorosamente para España l°s cuido d°s del gobierno Su caracter fue tan noble cuanto era grande su ingenio, y asi le vemos ensalud°, tant° en los elogios que sus c°ntemp°ráne°s le hi cier°n en vida, com° en los infinitos panegiricos suy°s que se publicar°n despues de su muerte, no menos por su admirable talento c°mo escritor que por sus muchas y grandes virtudes como mer° particular. T°das sus obras en efecto revelan el cand°r y pureza de su alma, circunstancia que sea dich° de pas° y sin ofender a nadie, rara vez deja de encontrarse en la hist°ria de todos los hombres verdaderamente grandes.

Sobre el autor (2018)

Pedro Calderón de la Barca was born in Madrid, Spain on January 17, 1600. He was educated at the Jesuit College in Madrid. He was a dramatist, poet and writer of the Spanish Golden Age. He wrote more than 120 plays and over 70 allegorical religious plays with subjects from mythology and the Old and the New Testaments. Calderón's debut as a playwright was Amor, Honor y Poder, performed at the Royal Palace. His other plays include La Selva Confusa, Los Macabeos, El Magico Prodigioso, El Alcalde de Zalamea, La Vida Es Sueno, and La Estatua de Prometeo. Calderón gained popularity in the court, and was made a knight of the order of Santiago by Philip IV, who had already commissioned from him a series of plays for the royal theatre in the Buen Retiro palace. Calderón became a tertiary of the order of St Francis in 1650, and then finally joined the priesthood. He was ordained in 1651, and became a priest at San Salvador at Madrid. He was appointed honorary chaplain to Philip IV in 1663, and continued as chaplain to his successor. In his eighty-first year he wrote his last secular play, Hado y Divisa de Leonido y Marfisa, in honor of Charles II's marriage to Maria Luisa of Orléans. He died on May 25, 1681.
