Son of Andalusia

Autor: Cyril Brian Morris

Número de Páginas: 480

A pathbreaking account of the influence and context of Andalusian life and art in the poetry and drama of Federico Garcia Lorca. Andalusia was the central feature and influence in the life and writings of the twentieth-century author, musician, and artist, Federico Garcia Lorca. Rooted in his native region, which both captivated and shaped him, Lorca maintained that "The better a writer learns how to interpret the landscape, the greater the artist he will be." Blessed with an acute historical sense of a region where the past is both present and enduring, Lorca proved himself sensitive and articulate enough to interpret "the emotion of the landscape" in all of his creative work.

Carmen Martín Gaite

Autor: Lissette Rolón-Collazo

Número de Páginas: 262

Carmen Martín Gaite is one of the most studied Spanish writers of the twentieth century. This volume incorporates analyses of selected works of both fiction and nonfiction, and begins with personal tributes to Martín Gaite from both friends and scholars. The second section of the book consists of studies devoted to Carmen Martín Gaite's works, employing a variety of critical and theoretical approaches, written from differing perspectives. Martín Gaite insists in "The Virtues of Reading" that writing is not drudgery but sheer pleasure, and she celebrates the enjoyment derived from "lur[ing] the reader or listener to embark on what is to be a shared adventure." We trust that those who approach this volume will do so with a comparable sense of adventure, and gain pleasure, illumination, and an enhanced appreciation of the work of a gifted author.
