Abstract
As P. N. Dunn has recently pointed out in this journal, there has been of late a tendency amongst scholars to depart from more traditional attitudes towards Calderon's honour plays. These calderonistas no longer see the author of El medico de su honra, A secreto agravio, secreta venganza and El pintor de su deshonra as an “advocate of revenge”, nor do they believe him to have been “an unquestioning accepter of accepted social attitudes”. They believe rather that Calderon was hostile to those aspects of the code of honour, such as the cruel honour-vengeance, which could not be reconciled with Christian ethics.
