Abstract
In this paper some scarcely studied texts are analyzed, whose ecoes one can detect in Calderón’s El médico de su honra: from Claramonte’s Deste agua no beberé, to Lope de Vega’s La locura por la honra, in addition to Lope’s La fuerza lastimosa and Guillén de Castro’s El conde Alarcos, and of course El médico de su honra attributed to Lope, the joining link between the above mentioned texts and El médico de su honra by Calderón. Studying this intertextual weave throws a new light over some problematic issues in the interpretation of El médico de su honra, and helps a better understanding of this masterpiece.
