The Segunda parte of La hija del aire is Calderón's

Both parts of La hija del aire bore Calderón's name when the play was first performed before the court in 1653. More than ten years later, both parts were published in the Tercera parte of his comedias. However, the second part had already been printed in 1650 under the name of Antonio Enríquez Gómez and without the Segunda parte designation. The chronological priority of this edition is the basis for Constance Rose's claim that the second part was indeed written by Enríquez and not by Calderón. My study presents a number of stylistic traits that appear in Calderón's comedias and autos and in Hija II but not in any of the Enríquez plays nor in any of those attributed to him or to his alter ego, Fernando de Zárate.
