Description

In this scholarly work, Rasmus Vangshardt provides an original interpretation of the theatrum mundi, one of the most famous images in literary history. By combining methods from comparative literature, hispanic studies, and theology, the author examines the historical peak of the world theatre in early modern Europe and the Spanish Golden Age. Vangshardt offers a new close reading of Pedro Calderon's El gran teatro del mundo (c. 1633-36) to establish a systematic framework for a theatrum mundi of celebration. This concept explores how art functions to justify human existence amidst constant change. This text is an essential resource for students and researchers of early drama, art, and music.
