La Casa De Bernarda Alba - By Federico Garcia Lorca

Informationen zum Autor H. Ramsden is Emeritus Professor at the University of Manchester Klappentext La casa de Bernarda Alba marks the completion of Lorca's 'trilogia de la tierra española' and is commonly held to be his greatest play. The theme of vitality and repression that runs as a leitmotif through his writings takes on a clearer social dimension in the 'drama de mujeres en los pueblos de España', with the presentation of a household of five unmarried daughters tyrannised by their mother's excessive concern with social class and obscurantist village morality. 'Professsor Ramsden gives very good value on the areas discussed. His analysis is exhaustive, scrupulously balanced and illuminating.' --"Bulletin of Hispanic Studies"'This edition's major contribution is the well-conceived and executed introduction. The reader is led on a step-by-step journey through the Lorca text as well as through the particular biographical circumstances that had an impact on the play. The presentation is clear, orderly and intelligent.' --"Modern Languages Journal" Zusammenfassung After her husband's death! Bernarda Alba forces her five daughters into eight years of strict mourning. The appearance of Pepe El Romano! a man who wishes to marry the eldest daughter! Angustias! unleashes a series of tragic events. Inhaltsverzeichnis 1. IntroductionPreliminariesAn outline of the playVitality and RepressionRealism and poetry'La obra más perfecta'?2.
