Reviews
“. . . a unique contribution to the field of Romantic drama [which] will draw more attention to an insightful and entertaining work that has been largely overlooked by critics.” - Prof. Celia Tonkinson Dollmeyer, Hanover College
“. . . expands the textual database of Spanish romantic drama available in English, and constitutes a valuable document for understanding how European romanticism laid the way for our contemporary western commitment to the dignity and worth of the individual.” - Prof. Stephen Miller, Texas A&M University
“In his excellent introduction, Robert Trimble points out several merits of the play including its reflection on European politics, its exploration of the mentality asn motives of a hotly debated king, and the presence of a villain whose inner suffering is almost as compelling as his obvious evil.” - Prof. Thomas R. Franz, Ohio University
