Robert Lima
Dark Prisms: Occultism in Hispanic Drama
Table of Contents Reviews:"Concise and illuminating, Dark Prisms fills a surprising gap in literary history . . . . This is a beautiful book, heartening to those who can observe in this example of erudition and grace that there are still plentiful resources available to diligent and expert scholars like Lima with sustained productivity in their field."--Anna Balakian "A fascinating study of the occult and the supernatural as thematic currents in Spanish drama." --Marion Peter Holt "A lucid exploration into Man's quest
for answers and meaning about the cosmos and beyond the physical world.
Lima's work has the intuitive mark of the poet which he is . . . . This
study of the theater of the occult, centered on but not limited to Hispanic
works, convincingly establishes unexpected relationships between Medieval
and Golden Age Spanish theater and 20th-century plays. It transcends Western
theater also to delve into representative Afro-Brazilian and Afro-Cuban
modes."
