Drama of the Siglo de Oro: A Study of Magic, Witchcraft and Other Occult Beliefs is a comprehensive exploration of the role of supernatural beliefs and practices in the literature and culture of the Spanish Golden Age. Written by Mario N. Pavia, this book delves into the rich and complex world of the Siglo de Oro, a period spanning from the late 16th to the mid-17th century that saw a flowering of artistic and literary expression in Spain.Drawing on a wide range of sources, including plays, poetry, treatises, and other texts, Pavia examines how magic, witchcraft, and other occult beliefs were represented and understood in the literature and culture of the time. He explores the ways in which these beliefs were shaped by historical, cultural, and religious factors, and how they reflected the anxieties and aspirations of the people who lived in this tumultuous period.Through close readings of key works by writers such as Lope de Vega, Calder������n de la Barca, and Tirso de Molina, Pavia shows how these authors used supernatural themes and motifs to explore issues such as power, gender, identity, and morality. He also examines the role of the Inquisition in shaping attitudes towards magic and witchcraft, and how these beliefs intersected with broader debates about science, religion, and the nature of reality.Overall, Drama of the Siglo de Oro offers a fascinating and insightful look into a crucial period in Spanish literary and cultural history, and sheds light on the enduring appeal of the supernatural in human culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
