He wrote within an extraordinary literary milieu (the Spanish Golden Age--Velazquez, Ribera, Cervantes...) and left his own mark.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e This book presents three of his best known works, never before translated in one collection: the Don Juan play, a theological play and a court comedy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Don Juan is recognized as a masterpiece of psychological portraiture and has been the subject of countless analyses, and diagnosed as a misogynist, a repressed homosexual, a misanthrope, a narcissist. However he may be interpreted, the reader senses that in Don Juan, Tirso was probing a dark area of the human spirit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The playwright is known for his realistic and penetrating psychological portraits of women. His female characters are forceful, cunning, witty and courageous, and their frank and unabashed sexuality is striking for the age--so much so that Tirso was censured and eventually banished from Madrid. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRaymond Conlon\u003c\/b\u003e is professor emeritus at Saint Peter's University in New Jersey.
