Although he wrote lyric verse and several epic poems (e.g. La hermosura de Angélica 1502 a sequel to Ariosto's Orlando Furioso ) his masterworks were his comedias. These graceful and vigorous plays combined the comic the serious and the ironic. Major examples are El mejor alcalde el rey (tr. The King the Greatest Alcade 1936) El rey don Pedro en Madrid El castigo sin venganza [punishment without vengeance] and Peribáñez (tr. 1937).
