"Two great theologians endeavor to restore the importance of Marian doctrine and devotion for the contemporary Church by offering a spiritually rich approach to Mariology. This effort brings into new relief the Marian contours of ecclesial faith. Ratzinger and von Balthasar show that Mary is both the embodiment of the Church, and the mother who co-operates in giving birth to the Church in the souls of believers."--Jacket.

From the rhyme sung by our children to the bloodline of English royalty, no one can deny Mary, Queen of Scots has unbeknown to us permanently taken root in the English people. Born in the aftermath of Henry VIII's "Great Matter" to a king who would have preferred a son, never knowing his daughter would be the matriarch of a powerful dynasty.

"Three Comedies represents the first English-language collection of plays by Jaime Salom, one of Spain's most important contemporary dramatists. His forty-plus works encompass an impressive array of subgenres, including domestic dramas, mysteries, political allegories, historical comedies, metaphysical meditations, and tales of Spanish life. Best known for his veiled critiques of Francisco Franco's regime, Salom went on to explore less overtly politicized themes following the dictator's death in 1975. This new volume features a trio of comedies from his later phase that offer insight into life under the eased restraints of a nominally democratic Spain." "Included in this collection are Behind the Scenes in Eden (1978), a retelling of events in Eden from a feminist perspective; Rigmaroles (1990), which recounts Golden Age author Juan Timoneda's domestic turmoil precipitated by a change in political winds; and The Other William (1998), in which Shakespeare appears as an opportunistic actor taking credit for someone else's writing. All three comedies revel in the foibles of protagonists who, in their search for self-determination, never quite manage to escape the specter of tyrannical authority."--BOOK JACKET.
