It studies a wide range of dramatic writings that Lorca created \u003ci\u003efor\u003c\/i\u003e 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 Calderón, 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 (\u003ci\u003eThe Butterfly’s Evil Spell\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eMariana Pineda\u003c\/i\u003e); his interest in puppetry (\u003ci\u003eThe Billy-Club Puppets\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eIn the Frame of Don Cristóbal\u003c\/i\u003e) and the two ‘human’ farces \u003ci\u003eThe Shoemaker’s Prodigious Wife\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Love of Don Perlimplín and Belisa in the Garden\u003c\/i\u003e; the central piece in his project of ‘impossible’ theater (\u003ci\u003eThe Public\u003c\/i\u003e); his most explicitly political play, one that takes the violence to the spectators’ seats (\u003ci\u003eThe Dream of Life\u003c\/i\u003e); and his three plays adopting, an altering, the contemporary formula of ‘rural drama’ (\u003ci\u003eBlood\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eWedding\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eYerma\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe House of Bernarda Alba\u003c\/i\u003e). \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 5 of this book is freely available as a downloadable Open Access PDF under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives 4.0 license.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45600123912430,"sku":"9780367820091","price":227.2,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9780367820091.jpg?v=1721463804","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/baroque-lorca-hardback","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
