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 (Fuente Vaqueros, Granada, 5 de junio de 1898-camino de Víznar a Alfacar, Granada, 18 de agosto de 1936) fue un poeta, dramaturgo y prosista español. Adscrito a la generación del 27, fue el poeta de mayor influencia y popularidad de la literatura española del siglo xx y como dramaturgo se le considera una de las cimas del teatro español del siglo xx. Fue asesinado por el bando sublevado un mes después del golpe de Estado que provocó el inicio de la guerra civil española.
