Aquel breve sueño

"'Aquel Breve Sueno.' Dreams on the Early Modern Spanish Stage is a collection of ten essays by distinguished scholars from Spain, France, and the United States. Originally an idea by Ricardo Saez of the Universite de Rennes, France, this volume includes a variety of approaches on the significance of dreams as dramatic discourse. In Part I, "Oneiric Discourse on the Early Modern Spanish Stage," contributors are Belen Atienza, Ezra Engling, Ellen Frye, Rogelio Minana, Charo Moreno, and Sharon Voros. Topics included are the prophetic dream in Lope de Vega and Guillen de Castro, dreams as motif and dramatic device in Pedro Calderon de la Barca, the metatheatrical function of dream sequences, the dream as dramatic character in Calderon's auto, Suenos hay que verdad son, and the performance dream in Leonor de la Cueva y Silva's La firmeza en la ausencia. "Aquel breve sueno" is a line from Garcilaso's second Elegy."--BOOK JACKET.
