A biography of the legendary poet and dramatist. Lorca's theater, like that of Strindberg and Tennessee Williams, voices his personal dilemmas, not least his homosexuality. This study of all his plays examines the way in which the dramatist's life was transformed into high art through influences as varied as Surrealism and Greek tragedy. In an attempt to cover as many aspects of Lorca's theater as possible as well as the time in which he lived, Gwynne Edwards deals not only with the plays themselves but includes material on the social and political character of the 1920s and 1930s, on the cultural background, on Lorca's friendships with Dali and Bunuel in particular, and on the performances of the the plays in his lifetime and afterwards.

Known primarily as a poet and dramatist, Spanish writer Federico Garcia Lorca published four books before his early death in the Spanish Civil War. This biography gives an account of his family, his homosexuality and his mysterious death, as well as tracing his literary development.

There's a summary of production history beginning on page 374.

Federico García Lorca pioneered a new Golden Age of Spanish literature, and his inspired mix of the political and the romantic remains fresh today. He was executed without trial at age 38 at the start of the Spanish Civil War.

This volume argues that Lorca's theatre is dynamic rather than static. By examining several of Lorca's plays over the course of his career, culminating in La casa de Bernarda Alba, the author asserts that Lorca placed poetic images in specific dramatic contexts that interact in such a way as to depict stages in the development of human relationshi

A Companion to Federico García Lorca provides a clear, critical appraisal of the issues and debates surrounding the work of Spain's most celebrated poet and dramatist. It considers past and current approaches to the study of Lorca, and also suggests new directions for further investigation. An introduction on the often contentious subject of Lorca's biography is followed by five chapters - poetry, theatre, music, drawing and cinema - which together acknowledge the polymath in Lorca. A further three chapters - religion, gender and sexuality, and politics - complete the volume by covering important thematic concerns across a number of texts, concerns which must be considered in the context of the iconic status that Lorca has acquired and against the background of the cultural shifts affecting his readership.
