La Decadencia Politica en el Siglo de Oro—in Spanish with English Subtitles

Spain’s Golden Age is recognized as the most fertile and glorious era in Spanish arts and letters. Miguel de Cervantes, Francisco de Quevedo, Calderón de la Barca, Diego Velázquez, and many others created works of enduring renown…even as their country fell into ruin. This program contrasts the marvels of the Siglo de Oro through dramatizations, film clips, artwork, and visits to important locales with the ineffectiveness of Kings Philip III and IV—a long period of rule that was largely characterized by political and military decay and disaster. Not available in French-speaking Canada. An RTVE Production. (Spanish with English subtitles, 46 minutes)
