Lorca: Plays One: World Classics

Spain's most celebrated dramatist Federico García Lorca (1898-1936) was murdered by Nationalist sympathizers shortly after the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War. His plays are renowned for their evocation of the profound and primitive passions of Spanish peasant life, displaying an innovative mixture of modern dramatic technique with Spanish popular tradition. This volume contains three of his greatest plays and Lorca's intense, lyrical dialogue is perfectly captured in translations of Blood Wedding and Doña Rosita the Spinster by Gwynne Edwards and Yerma by Peter Luke.
