Resumen de Calderón and the Conclusión defendida por un soldado del campo de Tarragona (1641): Commentary and Edition
The Conclusión defendida por un soldado del campo de Tarragona del ciego furor de Cataluña is a pamphlet ostensibly printed in Pamplona in 1641, and dealing with events in the Reapers’ War (1640–1652); although anonymous, it has been attributed to the dramatist Pedro Calderón. This paper finds more evidence for his authorship, investigates the date and place of printing, and compares details of the content with other sources of information about the events described; it comments briefly on Calderón plays which deal with similar situations, and provides a new edition of the text.
