Pedro Calderón de la Barca


1600-1681, Spanish dramatist, last major figure of the GOLDEN AGE. He wrote more than 100 plays, including
70 autos sacramentales (one-act religious plays) for the Corpus Christi festival; cloak-and-dagger thrillers; and
comedies of manners like The Mayor of Zalamea (c.1640). His philosophical drama Life Is a Dream (1635)
is considered a masterpiece.
