Calderon and the Baroque Tradition

Toby Rupert was a librarian living in Toronto.

These are the proceedings of an international symposium on Pedro Calderón de la Barca (1600-1681), held at the University of Toronto, April 10-11, 1981, to commemorate his tricentennial. Calderón was the author of 120 comedias and 80 autos. These 13 essays relate the baroque artistic tradition to such aspects of Calderón’s theatre as the use of music, mythology, costume, and dramatic technique.
