Template talk:Pedro Calderón de la Barca

What autos are
Broadly speaking, Calderón wrote in 2 genres: comedias (usually translated "plays") and autos sacramentales (often shortened to autos, and meaning "sacramental act" sometime translated "religious 1-act plays" or the like). This genre distinction is more fundamental than, say, Shakespeare's history/comedy/tragedy/romance distinction; and Calderón, it is not an exaggeration to say, was the single most significant writer of autos in the history of life on earth. Finally,, just because you don't know what an auto is, why would you take it upon yourself also to revert "(c. 1634)" which I suspect you do know the meaning of, and which I took the trouble to cite in my edit summary?

 * , Feel free to properly subsection the plays into comedies and auto sacs if you like. However, you should add both subsections rather than just a link to one.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 19:47, 16 October 2015 (UTC)
