Abstract

The influence of Pedro Calderon de la Barca’s dramas in Britain has not received extensive critical attention, especially if we compare the study of their reception in Great Britain with the studies devoted to their influence in the German lands. The reception of Calderonian drama in British Romanticism has attracted more research, particularly regarding the influence of the Spanish author on Percy B. Shelley. Despite the greater number of studies on Calderon and Percy B. Shelley, Mary W. Shelley’s interest on Calderon has remained practically unknown.
