520 _aProvides in-depth analysis of the literary work Blood Wedding, Yerma, and The House of Bernarda Alba, as well as its importance and critical reception. Includes a chronology of the life and works of the author.
_bThe revolutionary genius of Spanish theater, Lorca brought vivid and tragic poetry to the stage with these three powerful dramas. In the play The House of Bernarda Alba, a tyrannical matriarch rules over her house and five daughters, cruelly crushing their hopes and needs. The other plays here also portray female characters whose desires are tragically and violently frustrated: a woman's longing for a child in Yerma, and a bride's yearning for her lover in Blood Wedding. All appeal for freedom and sexual and social equality, and are also passionate defenses of the imagination: in Christopher Maurer's words, 'poetic frama unsurpassed by any writer of our time.'
