A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The Theatre of García Lorca offers radical new readings of his major plays, drawing on cultural studies, women's and gay studies, psychoanalysis, and previously unexamined archival material. It provides fascinating historical accounts of productions in different times and places, from New York in the 1930s to Madrid in the 1980s. It also juxtaposes Lorca with major figures such as Gregorio Marañón, Langston Hughes, André Gide, and Lluis Pasqual, enabling us to see his theatre in a new light. In addition, the book presents a new psychoanalytic reading of the plays, which returns to Freud's early clinical texts. Examining the complex and productive intersection of history and fantasy that is characteristic both of García Lorca's theatre and of the cult to which it has given rise, this study offers a thorough reassessment of Lorca's work.

Revue de presse

"...this volume affords both the scholar and the aficionado a new and provocative way of looking at Lorca's drama. The book is thoroughly documented and includes production data of significant mountings of each of the plays discussed. Most useful to graduate students and researchers." Choice
