Items related to de Vega: Plays One
Contained within The Innocent Child of La Guardia are two radically different plays: a simple devotional play that pits good against evil ans another play full of black humor, cynical observation and reversals of expectation. The Jewess of Toledo is not only a reflection of Toledo itself but also of Lope’s own character, which alternated between erotic obsessions and bouts of religiosity.

About the Author:
Lope de Vega (1562-1635), acknowledged as Spain's most lyrical and energetic dramatist, was a prolific and complusive writer. He treated an enormous range of subjects, often mingling comedy with tragedy, to the horror of the classicists, and defended his methods in his 'Arte nuevo de hacer comedias en este tiempe', published in 1609. Micheal Jacobs was born in Italy and studied art history at the Courtauld Insitute, London. He then became a teacher and acclaimed travel writer. He is general editor for a series of volumes of Lope de Vega plays for Oberon Books. Plays Two includes his own translation of The Labyrinth of Desire and John Osborne's version of A Bond Honoured.
