Abstract

This article assesses the career and publications of Don W. Cruickshank, an internationally respected scholar memorable for his researches on Calderón and seventeenth-century Spanish drama and for his groundbreaking work on printing in seventeenth-century Spain. Besides numerous editions and studies of plays by Calderón, in 1973 Cruickshank edited and published, with J. E. Varey, The ‘Comedias’ of Calderón. A Facsimile Edition with Textual and Critical Studies in 19 volumes. His writings culminated in a searching biography on Don Pedro Calderón, which first came out in English (Cambridge U. P., 2009), but was soon translated and published in Spain (Madrid: Gredos, 2011). Don Cruickshank’s books, editions and articles on Spain’s Golden Age of culture and theatre leave an enduring legacy, and will enlighten and inspire Hispanists for many years to come.
