Stages of Desire: The Mythological Tradition in Classical and Contemporary Spanish Theater

Michael Kidd; Pennsylvania State University Press

Synopsis:
Within the rich tradition of Spanish theater lies an unexplored dimension reflecting themes from classical mythology. Through close readings of selected plays from early modern and twentieth-century Spanish literature with plots or characters derived from the Greco-Roman tradition, Michael Kidd shows that the concept of desire plays a pivotal role in adapting myth to the stage in each of several historical periods.
