It studies a wide range of dramatic writings that Lorca created for the theater, in direct response to the conditions of his contemporary industry, and situates the theory and praxis of his theatrical reform in dialogue with other modernist renovators of the stage. This book makes special emphasis on how Lorca engaged with the tradition of Spanish Baroque, in particular with Cervantes and Caldern, to break away from the conventions of the illusionist stage. The five chapters of the book analyze Lorca's different attempts to change the dynamics of the Spanish stage from 1920 to his assassination in 1936: His initial incursions in the arenas of symbolist and historical drama (The Butterfly's Evil Spell, Mariana Pineda); his interest in puppetry (The Billy-Club Puppets and In the Frame of Don Cristbal) and the two human' farces The Shoemaker's Prodigious Wife and The Love of Don Perlimpln and Belisa in the Garden; the central piece in his project of impossible' theater (The Public); his most explicitly political play, one that takes the violence to the spectators' seats (The Dream of Life); and his three plays adopting, an altering, the contemporary formula of rural drama' (Blood Wedding, Yerma and The House of Bernarda Alba).Baroque literatureInfluenceLorca, Perfomance Studies, Literary CriticismBaroque literatureInfluence.868.6209Pérez-Simón Andrés1745381OCoLC-POCoLC-PBOOK9910831853403321Baroque Lorca4176099UNINA
