Media Reviews

[U]n acierto de la editorial Tamesis . Con la presente publicación, el estudioso de Lope de Vega cuenta ahora con una sólida referencia no sólo como objeto de estudio sino también como herramienta docente... Samson y Thacker han editado, así, un utilísimo libro que logra lo que muy pocos estudios consiguen hoy en día, a saber, el sentir a un Lope vivo, moderno y relevante, cuya trayectoria palpita con una claridad y una coherencia modélicas. * BULLETIN OF SPANISH STUDIES *
A Companion to Lope de Vega es una obra que se mantendrá vigente en el estudio del dramaturgo español por mucho tiempo ya que presenta ideas fundamentales e innovadoras para el conocimiento del teatro en España y la comprensión del mundo, la obra y el hombre que fue Lope Félix de Vega Carpio. * ASSOCIATION OF SPANISH & PORTUGUESE HISTORICAL STUDIES BULLETIN *
Those who take or teach a Golden Age literature course should have this book at hand. [.] All contributors offer interesting, up-to-date information and abundant critical analysis of the author's work. Recommended. * CHOICE *
