Pedro Calderón de la Barca
1600‐81
Spanish playwright. Along with Lope de Vega and Tirso de Molina, he is one of the three great dramatists of the Golden Age, and was highly praised by German Romantics in later years. Born into a distinguished family, he studied theology at a Jesuit school and the University of Salamanca, then turned to literature at around the age of 20, but was ordained a priest at the age of 50 and became an honorary priest to King Philip IV. He wrote 120 plays on three basic themes: loyalty to the king, absolute devotion to the Catholic Church, and honor or respectability.
