Summary

Pedro Calderón de la Barca (Madrid, 17 de enero de 1600 - 25 de mayo de 1681) fue un escritor, dramaturgo y sacerdote español, miembro de la Venerable Congregación de Presbíteros Seculares Naturales de Madrid San Pedro Apóstol y caballero de la Orden de Santiago, conocido fundamentalmente por ser uno de los más insignes literatos barrocos del Siglo de Oro, en especial por su teatro.

Poeta cortesano y soldado, en 1651 se ordenó sacerdote. Su teatro, basado en el de Lope de Vega, introduce importantes modificaciones: suprime escenas innecesarias y reduce las secundarias; subordina los personajes a uno central; acentúa las ideas monárquicas y el tema del honor. La angustia barroca de la existencia, junto con los problemas teológicos, delinean los autos sacramentales, que requieren de gran aparato escénico y donde Calderón alcanzó su máximo lirismo. Su lenguaje es la culminación del culteranismo y su riqueza expresiva posee elementos del conceptismo intelectual, como se evidencia en su obra La vida es sueño (1635).
