Federico García Lorca, Martin Sorrell, D.Gareth Walters
A unique parallel-text selection from the poetry of Spain's best-known, and best, modern poet and dramatist.,The selection covers all periods of Lorca's life and unlike most anthologies of his poems gives equal space to the less well-known early poems, thus giving a clearer vision of Lorca's poetic development as well as drawing attention to the brilliance and originality of some of the earlier work. At the same time key poems from all Lorca's collections are given, including the recently discovered Sonnets of Dark Love.,Martin Sorrell's translations are thoughtful and accomplished, sharp but nuanced, and Gareth Walters's Introduction gives a clear and balanced appraisal of the poetry, steering away from the tendency to mythologize Lorca's life and death, and thus invaluable for both newcomers to Spanish literature and more experienced students and scholars.,The edition includes helpful notes, select bibliography, chronology, and index of titles.

Federico García Lorca, Martin Sorrell, D.Gareth Walters
Description
'Lorca brought an understanding of the paradox that was Spain - sensuality chafing under a rigid moral code, individual desire at war with tradition.' Manuel Duran
Federico García Lorca is perhaps the most celebrated of all twentieth-century Spanish writers, known not only for his plays but also for several collections of poems published both in his short lifetime and after. Lorca's poetry is steeped in the land, climate, and folklore of his native Andalusia, though he writes memorably of New York and Cuba too. Often in modernist idiom, and full of startling imagery, he evokes a world of intense feelings, silent suffering, and
dangerous love.
This selection balances poems from Lorca's early collections with his better-known work to give a clear vision of his poetic development. Martin Sorrell's accomplished translations are complemented by D. Gareth Walters's shrewd Introduction, with its distinctive focus on the achievements of the poet.
