"El mayor monstruo del mundo" se publicó por vez primera en la "Segunda parte de comedias de Calderón", en 1637. Unos treinta años después el dramaturgo volvió sobre la pieza, como era frecuente en él, y la modificó profundamente, dando lugar a una nueva versión que se ha conservado en un manuscrito parcialmente autógrafo con el título de "El mayor monstruo los celos". La novedad de esta edición crítica radica en ofrecer conjuntamente los textos de las dos versiones de la tragedia, así como una breve introducción y un detallado estudio en el que se analiza su compleja transmisión textual.

Con motivo de los 200 años de La «querella calderoniana», lectura determinante de Calderón de la Barca en nuestra historiografía literaria, este volumen se centra en dicho hito fundacional del Romanticismo español, nacido en el debate posconstitucional de Cádiz entre el alemán tradicionalista Johann Nikolas Böhl von Faber y los gaditanos liberales Antonio Alcalá Galiano y José Joaquín de Mora.

Pedro Calderon de la Barca (1600-1681), one of the great dramatists of Spain's Golden Age, wrote a series of mythological spectacle plays for the Habsburg courts. Written when court spectacles were an instrument of monarchical absolutism, these later works by Calderon have often been dismissed by critics as servile flattery of the royalty or mere displays of dazzling showmanship. Margaret Rich Greer argues, however, that many of the playwright's court dramas not only explore human life and social organization, but also possess artistic unity and thematic complexity that make them landmarks in European dramatic history. Analyzing seven of these plays, she demonstrates Calderon's mastery in the integration of music, dance, elaborate scenery, and stage machinery to enhance rather than overpower his poetic text. Greer shows that by envisioning each drama in the physical setting of its performance and in the political context of its time, readers can appreciate a complex relationship of texts: intertwined with the flattering image of the splendor of royal power are a discourse relevant to common spectators and another one that is subtly critical of the policies of the king and the court.Originally published in 1991.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.
