This is a full-length study in English of the Spanish dramatist
Ramon del Valle-Inclan (1866-1936). Written for a theatre of his
imagination, these works reveal an early attempt to wean Spanish
drama from representational naturalism by the use of cinematic
techniques and a heightened dramatic language reflecting broad
cultural identities. John Lyon analyses the plays within a European
rather than exclusively Spanish framework. He shows that,
philosophically and aesthetically, Valle has links with two
avant-garde movements: the turn-of-the-century Symbolism associated
with Maeterlinck and Yeats and the anti-tragic values which
surfaced in the 1920s and culminated in what became known as
Absurdism. The text is supported by an appendix gathering together
Valle's more important statements on dramatic theory and is
illustrated by photographs of recent productions in Madrid and
London. The book will find a readership among teachers and students
of European drama as well as those in Spanish departments.
