Federico Garcia 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. Writing often in modernist idiom, and full
of startling imagery, he evokes a world of intense feelings, silent
suffering, and dangerous love.
This unique parallel-text edition balances poems from Lorca's early
collections with his better-known later work, providing a clear
vision of his poetic development and drawing attention to the
brilliance and originality of some of the earlier work. Key poems
from all Lorca's collections appear here, including the recently
discovered Sonnets of Dark Love. Martin Sorrell's translations are
thoughtful and accomplished, and D. Gareth Walters's shrewd
Introduction, with its distinctive focus on the achievements of the
poet, gives a clear and balanced appraisal of the poetry, while
steering away from the tendency to mythologize Lorca's life and
death. This edition also includes helpful notes, a bibliography, a
chronology, and an index of titles.
About the Series: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has
made available the broadest spectrum of literature from around the
globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to
scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of
other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading

bibliographies for further study, and much more."
