Publisher's Synopsis
""Allegorical And Metaphorical Language In The Autos Sacramentales Of Calderon"" by M. Francis De Sales McGarry is a scholarly work that examines the use of allegorical and metaphorical language in the Autos Sacramentales plays of the Spanish Baroque playwright Pedro Calderon de la Barca. The book provides a detailed analysis of the literary techniques used by Calderon to convey complex theological and philosophical ideas through his plays. McGarry explores the symbolic meanings of the characters, settings, and plot elements in the Autos Sacramentales, and shows how these elements work together to create a rich and layered allegorical narrative. The book also discusses the historical and cultural context of Calderon's plays, and how they reflect the religious and political tensions of seventeenth-century Spain. This book is a valuable resource for scholars and students of Spanish literature, as well as anyone interested in the use of allegory and metaphor in literature.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
