Synopsis "four major plays"

In his four last plays (Blood Wedding, Yerma, The House of Bernarda Alba, Dona Rosita the Spinster) Federico García Lorca offered his disturbed and disturbing personal vision to Spanish audiences of the 1930s---unready, as he thought them, for the sexual frankness and surreal expression of his more experimental work. The authentic sense of danger of Lorca's theatre is finely conveyed here in John Edmunds's fluent and rhythmic new translations that lend themselves admirably to performance. About the Series: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the broadest spectrum of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, voluminous notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

Federico García Lorca (Fuentevaqueros, Granada, June 5, 1898 – near Víznar, Granada, August 18, 1936) was a Spanish poet and playwright from the Generation of '27, considered one of the most influential figures in Hispanic literature. Among his most notable works are Poet in New York, Blood Wedding, Yerma, and The House of Bernarda Alba. His legacy, cut short by his assassination at the start of the Civil War, blends modernism, avant-garde, and tradition, and consecrates him as the most read Spanish poet of the 20th century.
