This study of the Spanish theatre during the Siglo de Oro, or Golden Age, is the first global examination of all the aspects involved in the emergence of a national theatre in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries: corral theatre, the works of the court, the autos of the Corpus, the organisation of theatre life, corrales and their audiences, literary and moral controversies and works as literary texts. The book has been conceived for both students and experts and considers the theatre phenomenon within its national and international context. The author has dedicated considerable space to experimental sixteenth-century drama before Lope de Vega, since she believes that a better grasp of the Golden Age depends on the awareness one has of the slow and varied processes that led to the appearance of the theatre of the corrales, from the early momos of the fifteenth-century courts and diálogos performed in major religious festivities. The book highlights a particularly individualised theatre that lasted nearly one hundred years and mirrored the energies, beliefs and anxieties of a great nation in crisis, while serving as a channel of expression for the individual genius of its most famous representatives: Lope de Vega, Tirso de Molina and Calderón de la Barca.
