Before his tragic murder at the hands of fascist rebels against Spain’s democracy in 1936, Federico García Lorca had established himself as one of Europe and the Hispanic World’s most promising young writers. His poetry brought to the explosion of avant-garde innovation of the first decades of the 20th century a grounding in the historical and cultural roots of Spanish culture. The result is a body of poetic work of great vitality and enduring quality which continues to challenge and inspire readers and critics alike. During this course we will examine Lorca’s two most well-known volumes of poetry The Gypsy Ballads (Romancero Gitano) 1928 and Poet in New York (Poeta en Nueva York) 1940. The reading of the two works will allow us examine the author’s poetic trajectory against the context of a rapidly evolving artistic and socio-political transformations.
