Dama Boba

"Lady Nitwit/La dama boba is a perceptive character study of a female scatterbrain made wise in the ways of the world through the power of love. The plot moves rapidly from one delightfully comic situation to another, evoking the contradictions encountered in the course of love." "The dialogue sparkles with humor and repartee. The theme is universal in its appeal, and the treatment given it by Lope has the ring of modernity that makes this play one of the best comedies in his repertory. This edition features a prose translation of the original seventeenth-century play in facing page format."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
