In an attempt to cover as many aspects of Lorca's theatre and the time in which he lived as possible, Gwynne Edwards deals not only with the plays themselves but includes material on the social and political character of the 1920s and 30s, 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 USA and other English-speaking countries, not to mention Europe. Anyone who wanted to know more about Lorca will find it in this volume - not only students in academic institutions or drama schools or actors and theatre directors: this is a long overdue biography for the general reader.
