Besides numerous editions and studies of plays by Calderón, in 1973 Cruickshank edited and published, with J. E. Varey, The ‘Comedias’ of Calderón. A Facsimile Edition with Textual and Critical Studies in 19 volumes. His writings culminated in a searching biography on Don Pedro Calderón, which first came out in English (Cambridge U.
