In Lorca's Legacy, Jonathan Mayhew explores multiple aspects of the
creative and critical afterlife of Federico Garcia Lorca, the most
internationally recognized Spanish poet and playwright of the
twentieth century. Lorca is an iconic and charismatic figure who
has evoked the admiration and fascination of musicians, poets,
painters, and playwrights across the world since his tragic
assassination by right-wing forces in 1936, at the onset of the
Spanish Civil War. This volume ranges widely, discussing his
influence on American theater, his much-debated lecture on the
duende, his delayed encounter with queer theory, his influence on
contemporary Spanish poetry, and other relevant topics. The
critical literature on Lorca is vast, and original contributions
are comparatively rare, but Mayhew has found a way to shed fresh
light on his legacy by looking with a critical eye at the creative
transformations of his life and work, both in Spain and abroad.
Lorca's Legacy celebrates the wealth of material inspired by Lorca,
bringing to bear a sophisticated, theoretically informed critical
perspective. This book will be of enormous interest to anyone
interested in the international projection of Spanish literature,
or anyone who has felt the fascination of Lorca's duende.
