Description: A comparison of Spain's two greatest dramatists; includes a list of related links.
CALDERÓN AND LOPE DE VEGA OPE de Vega (1562-1635) molded the Spanish drama to suit his own gifts; he stamped it forever with the impress of his own personality; and even if we must admit that Calderón, who came after, also rose higher, and that the younger poet surpassed the elder in the lyrical elevation of several of his plays, none the less we must remember always that the greatest dramas of Calderón are examples of a class of which Lope had set the first model. If we acknowledge, as we may, that even Calderón trod only where Lope had first broken the path, we must record that all the other dramatists of Spain were also followers in his footsteps. From out the numerous mass of Lope de Vega's works, it would be possible to select a satisfactory specimen of every species of the drama that has existed in Spain. What Lope was, so was the Spanish drama. He came first, and he was the most original of all, the most fertile, the most indefatigable, the most various, the most multifarious.
