  Pedro Calderón de la Barca - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pedro Calderón de la Barca (January 17, 1600 – May 25, 1681), was an important dramatist of the Spanish Golden Age.
He did not adhere strictly to this resolution, but he did confine himself largely to the writing of Mythological plays for the palace theatres, and to the composition of autos sacramentales--one act allegorical pieces written for performance during the feast of Corpus Cristi, in which the mystery of the Eucharist was illustrated dramatically.
In 1662 two of Calderón's autos, Las órdenes militares and Mística y real Babilonia, were the subjects of an inquiry by the Inquisition; the former was censured, the manuscript copies were confiscated, and the condemnation was not rescinded till 1671.

 Calderon
PEDRO CALDERON de la BARCA, generally refered to simply as Calderon, ranks next to Lope de Vega in the list of Spanish dramatists.
Calderon was still very young when he was commissioned by Philip IV to write a series of plays for the royal theater in the Buen Retiro.
Calderon wrote write up to the time of his death, apparently without any diminution of his powers or his interest.

Pedro Calderon de la Barca was born in Madrid, January 17, 1600, of good family.
Lope de Vega, the most prolific and, with Calderon, the greatest, of Spanish dramatists, was still alive; and by his applause gave encouragement to the beginner whose fame was to rival his own.
The dominant motives in Calderon`s dramas are characteristically national: fervid loyalty to Church and King, and a sense of honor heightened almost to the point of the fantastic.

 Pedro Calderón de la Barca
He was soon released, grew rapidly in reputation as a playwright, and, on the death of Lope de Vega in 1635, was recognized as the foremost Spanish dramatist of the age.
Calderón was almost as popular with the general public as Lope de Vega had been in his zenith; he was, moreover, in high favor at court, but this royal patronage did not help to develop the finer elements of his genius.
The publication of the plays of Lope de Vega and of Tirso de Molina has affected the critical estimate of Calderón's work; he is seen to be inferior to Lope de Vega in creative power, and inferior to Tirso de Molina in variety of conception.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Pedro Calderon de la Barca
Undoubtedly the value of Calderon has been overrated, in so far as the modern world has allowed him to outshine Lope de Vega, for it should be remembered that Calderon inherited the scenic traditions of the sixteenth century, to which Lope had given a magnificent development.
Were one to contrast Shakespear with Lope de Vega, he would discover that, while Shakespear belongs to all men and all time, Lope is the particular property of Spain, and is bounded by national limitations.
In fact, fertility of conception as to plot and incident was strikingly lacking in him, he was not in the least loath to borrow ideas from his predecessors and contemporaries, and sometimes he went so far as to appropriate whole sections of their dramas.

 Jewels of Spain : Calderón de la Barca
CALDERÓN DE LA BARCA, PEDRO (1600-1681), Spanish dramatist, was born at Madrid, Jan. 17, 1600.
He adopted the soaring "cultist" metaphor employed by Luis de Góngora, but bound its expansive force within the iron cage of the Neo-Scholastic logic; consequently there resulted a conflict of freedom and imprisonment, of verbal passion and repression, that is typically Baroque.
In El Médico de su honor ("The Doctor of His Own Honor") the protagonist is forced to kill his wife despite her innocence because she was suspected publicly and because the code of honor demands such retribution.

 Zarzuela! Writer Biographies - Pedro Calderón de la Barca
His earlier plays are heavily influenced by the realistic, fertile style of his master Lope de Vega, but from the age of 40 his plays show an increasing theological preoccupation, along with refinement of detail and a reliance on complex Baroque language and structure.
The first play with music written for the Palace of La Zarzuela was in fact El jardín de Falerina of 1648, a work considered by some writers to be the first zarzuela, although the name was not used to describe such musical entertainments until the late 1650's.
Most would agree that El golfo de las Sirenas (1657, music anonymous) and El laurel de Apolo (1657/8) with music reputedly by Juan de Hidalgo, were the earliest to bear the description from the start.

This was a time when Lope de Vega (1562-1635) dominated the stage and fashioned the form of the popular drama as a three-act structure, with the opening act establishing the issues and characters, the second act developing the conflict, and the third act resolving the problems raised by the drama.
He wrote it in his favorite baroque style—Gongorism, named for an earlier baroque poet, Luis de Góngora y Argote (1561-1627), whose style is marked by references to mythology, stylistic excesses, and complexity of language and thought.
