Romancero Gitano by Federico Garcia Lorca

Lorca is one of the outstanding poets of Spanish literature, and apart perhaps from his trilogy of stage tragedies,Romancero gitanois his most celebrated work. By its dramatic dynamism, its subtle stylisation and its mythical stature,Romancero gitanois one of the most appealing books of poetry in Spanish literature--but it is also one of the most difficult. In his introduction to this edition for English-speaking students, Ramsden considers briefly Lorca's "Double break with the past" and then concentrates on the "Romancero gitano" itself, with emphasis on the interplay of immediate appeal and wider resonances. An annotated select bibliography and select glossary are provided with explanatory end notes offering practical guidance, both linguistic and interpretative.Ramsden, Herbert is the author of 'Romancero Gitano by Federico Garcia Lorca', published 2008 under ISBN 9780719078255 and ISBN 0719078253.
