Although Cervantes’s dramatic works have always attracted less attention than his narrative fiction, there has been significant critical interest in this play in recent years, due in no small part to its unique portrayal of Christian-Muslim relations.

This edition, translated by Philip Krummrich, consists of a critical introduction and a full verse translation of the play with notes.
