A biography of the legendary poet and dramatist and "Choice" Magazine Outstanding Academic Book of the Year, 2003 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. Lorca is by far the best-known and most popular Spanish dramatist in the UK, the U.S., and other English-speaking countries, not to mention Europe. Anyone who wants to know more about Lorca will find it in this volume--not only students in academic institutions and drama schools, actors, or theater directors; this is a long overdue biography for the general reader.
