English Translation of the Play

As it is a hard thing to find (if indeed it exists), if anyone has the full English translation of Molina's play, it would be greatly appreciated if you could add the link on the article.

Not appropriate to put a link to a commerical website in the article, but you can find an English translation in Eric Bentley (ed). Life is a Dream and Other Spanish Classics ISBN 9781557830067. In Britain, it's currently available second-hand on Amazon for the price of the postage only (less than £3). That seems to be the most popular translation. There is also one by Gwynne Edwards, which, from what I can gather from a quick websearch, some university departments recommend in preference to the Bentley. A little more expensive though. Bibliographic details (ISBN numbers) now in the sources section of the article. DionysosProteus (talk) 17:16, 4 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The category Spanish plays is probably the most appropriate/important link.

About the real name

Can anybody provide sources for saying that the real name is Tellez Gabriel? My sources say that the name is unknown. If nobody can provide sources for the assertion, the sencence may be removed. Anna Lincoln 14:16, 7 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
