Federico García Lorca

By María M. Delgado

Immortalized in death by The Clash, Pablo Neruda, Salvador Dal , Dmitri Shostakovich and Lindsay Kemp, Federico Garc a Lorca's spectre haunts both contemporary Spain and the cultural landscape beyond.

This study offers a fresh examination of one of the Spanish language's most resonant voices; exploring how the very factors which led to his emergence as a cultural icon also shaped his dramatic output.

The works themselves are also awarded the space that they deserve, combining performance histories with incisive textual analysis to restate Lorca's presence as a playwright of extraordinary vision, in works such as:

Blood Wedding The Public The House of Bernarda Alba Yerma.

Federico Garc a Lorca is an invaluable new resource for those seeking to understand this complex and multifaceted figure: artist, playwright, director, poet, martyr and in the eyes of many, Spain's 'national dramatist'.
