Moreto (English spelling) Agustín de Moreto y Cavaña

Japanese: モレト（英語表記）Agustín de Moreto y Cavaña

1618‐69
Spanish playwright. Born into an Italian merchant family, he graduated from the University of Alcalá and became a priest. He was one of Calderón's followers and wrote about 50 plays, many of which were adaptations of other authors' works, and are therefore said to lack creativity, but in many cases they are more complete than the originals. His representative works include "Contempt for Contempt" and "Good Man Don Diego." [Inui Eiichi]

1618‐69
スペインの劇作家。イタリア人商人の家に生まれ，アルカラ大学を卒業し，聖職者となる。カルデロンの追随者の一人で約50の作品があるが，その多くは他の作家のものの改作で，そのため創造力に欠けるともいわれるが，多くの場合，原作よりも完成度の高いものになっている。代表作に《侮蔑には侮蔑で》《好男子ドン･ディエゴ》がある。【乾英一】
