Moreto Y Cabaña, Agustín

Born in March 1618, in Madrid; died Oct. 26 or 27, 1669, in Toledo. Spanish playwright.

In 1642, Moreto y Cabana became a priest. He wrote more than 100 plays, which were published in three separate editions (1654, 1676, 1681). Moreto y Cabana’s historical plays, including The Persecuted Sovereign (1651; about the time of troubles in Russia; written with L. Belmonte and A. Martinez de Meneses), probe the problems of royal power and gentlemanly honor. His comedies of intrigue, including A Double in the Capital (1665; translated into Russian as The Living Portrait in 1950), have complicated plots. His comedies of manners, such as Contempt With Contempt (1654; Russian translations, 1887, 1946) and The Handsome Don Diego (1662), criticize the vices of the gentry. Moreto y Cabana’s work was the culmination of Spanish Renaissance drama.
