- Five major early modern plays of the Spanish Empire--The Siege of Numantia, Fuenteovejuna, The Dog in the Manger, Life Is a Dream, and The Trials of a Noble House--when Spain produced one of the most vibrant and dramatic canons in the history of theater.
- An Introduction, a Note on the Translation, and explanatory footnotes by G. J. Racz and Barbara Fuchs.
- Background materials centering on the comedia; on class, gender, and the performance of identity; and on stages, actors, and audiences.
- Fourteen judiciously chosen critical essays both on Golden Age Spanish drama generally and on the individual plays.
- A Selected Bibliography.
