When Jose Zorrilla completed Don Juan Tenorio in 1844 little did he know that he had just written what would become the most popular Spanish play of all time. While the opening performance was a modest one, Zorrilla's interpretation of the legendary Don Juan myth was so well-liked by the public that, in a very short time, its success was overwhelming. Shortly after, Don Juan Tenorio became not only the most popular play in Spain, but in the entire Spanish-speaking world, and to this day it is considered the chief representative of Spanish Romantic theater and the masterpiece of all Don Juan adaptations. This new translation of Zorrilla's classic play is unique in mirroring not only the content, but also the way in which an audience would experience a performance of the most famous of libertines in Spanish. As such, it strives to keep the essence of each stanza intact, while reflecting the rhyme and stress-pattern of the original. Although the exigencies of meter and rhyme entail making some minor concessions when it comes to rendering the content, the way in which the play was written is such a crucial aspect that, without its playful octosyllabic lines, its easy rhymes, and its carefully-studied meter, we cannot speak of Don Juan Tenorio. Intended for a wide variety of readers, the translation is preceded by an introduction in which several key aspects of the play are addressed, and the main text is complemented with footnotes clarifying key passages, or offering additional information about the characters, the time-period, or the literary history of the Don Juan character.

Jose Zorrilla y Moral (1817-1893) was a Spanish Romantic poet and dramatist. He was born in Valladolid to a magistrate in whom Ferdinand VII placed special confidence. He was educated by the Jesuits at the Real Seminario de Nobles in Madrid, wrote verses when he was twelve, became an enthusiastic admirer of Walter Scott and Chateaubriand, and took part in the school performances of plays by Lope de Vega and Calderon de la Barca. In 1833 he was sent to study law at the University of Toledo, but after a year of idleness, he fled to Madrid, where he horrified the friends of his absolutist father by making violent speeches and by founding a newspaper which was promptly suppressed by the government. He narrowly escaped transportation to the Philippines, and passed the next few years in poverty."

En la historia del mito de don Juan, el Tenorio de Jos� Zorrilla ocupa un lugar de gran relieve por su enorme y sostenido �xito y por la novedosa caracterizaci�n de su protagonista. Si algo defin�a a don Juan Tenorio desde su aparici�n en El burlador de Sevilla era una personalidad sin modulaciones, cifrada en una maldad impenitente y una implacable entrega al fraude y la mentira. En manos de Zorrilla, el arist�crata sevillano experimenta una transformaci�n por gracia de do�a In�s, catalizadora de un amor que redime y que puede abrir las puertas al arrepentimiento y el perd�n. A m�s de un siglo y medio de su estreno, el Tenorio, que presentamos en la muy cuidada y precisa edici�n de Luis Fern�ndez Cifuentes, sigue siendo una obra de extraordinaria popularidad, cuyos versos m�s conocidos son todav�a (acaso gracias a su fundamental desmesura) patrimonio vivo de nuestra lengua.
