The Duchess of Amalfi's Steward - Paperback

by Félix Lope de Vega Y. Carpio (Author), Dakin Matthews (Translator)

Lope de Vega's early 17th century El mayordomo de la duquesa de Amalfi is brought to shimmering life for the English-speaking audience in rhyming verse as The Duchess of Amalfi's Steward, translated by Dakin Matthews. The widowed Duchess falls for her lower-stationed steward and thus ensues a tale of secret marriage, the pursuit of happiness in upper class Golden Age Spain, and angry brothers.
