Opis produktu

Best known today as the author of Don Quixote/&mdash:one of the most beloved and widely read novels in the Western tradition&mdash:Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra (15471616) was a poet and a playwright as well. After some early successes on the Madrid stage in the 1580s his theatrical career was interrupted by other literary efforts. Yet eager to prove himself as a playwright shortly before his death he published a collection of his later plays before they were ever performed./With their depiction of captives in North Africa and at the Ottoman court two of these The Bagnios of Algiers and The Great Sultana draw heavily on Cervantess own experiences as a captive and echo important episodes in Don Quixote/. They are set in a Mediterranean world where Spain and its Muslim neighbors clashed repeatedly while still remaining in close contact with merchants exiles captives soldiers and renegades frequently crossing between the two sides. The plays provide revealing insights into Spains complex perception of the world of Mediterranean Islam./Despite their considerable literary and historical interest these two plays have never before been translated into English. This edition presents them along with an introductory essay that places them in the context of Cervantess drama the early modern stage and the political and cultural relations between Christianity and Islam in the early modern period./The first English translation of two captivity plays by Cervantes set in Algiers and Constantinople. Featuring a lively cast of corsairs captives and renegades they offer important insights into early modern Spains conception of the world of Islam./Introduction/The Bagnios of Algiersbr /Act Ibr /Act IIbr /Act III/The Great Sultanabr /Act Ibr /Act IIbr /Act III/Bibliographybr /Acknowledgments/Barbara Fuchs is Professor of Spanish and Portuguese and Professor of English at the University of California Los Angeles.
