註釋

"The theater of Agustín Moreto y Cabaña (1618-1669) badly needs reevaluation. Present estimation of the work of this Spanish playwright has frozen into a sterile pattern of praise for his technical skill and disapproval of his borrowings. There has been uncritical acceptance of the contention that Moreto's plays are simple reworkings, and no real effort has been made to assess the relevance of this generally accepted belief. The road to a fair estimation and apprecation of Moreto, Mr. Casa believes, is through a rigorous investigation of his plays and their sources. To achieve this purpose he has carefully selected five different comedias, of varying degrees of indebtedness to earlier works ... . In each case he analyzes the original, then the Moreto version, pointing out differences in characterization, attitudes, dramatic elaboration, and themes. Mr. Casa proves that, in spite of their similarity to works of predecessors, Moreto's plays should be considered independent literary creations and their author a dramatist with a high degree of artistic integrity."--Dust jacket.
