Opis

The Theatre of Garcia 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 also juxtaposes Lorca with major figures such as Gregorio Maranon, Langston Hughes, Andre Gide, and Lluis Pasqual, enabling us to see his theater in a new light. In addition, the book presents a new psychoanalytic reading of the plays, which returns to Freud's early clinical texts.

Recenzje

"...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
