The Goldfinch and the Hawk: A Study of Lope de Vega's Tragedy, El caballero de olmedo

This is a close reading of a play by Felix Lope de Vega (1562-1635) — a Spanish playwright, poet, and major figure of Spanish Baroque literature — titled El caballero de Olmedo. The study analyzes the comedia in terms of the literary and social conventions that it reflects: cortesía, brujería, and alcahuetería.
