Overview

EL ROMANCERO GITANO es una de las creaciones líricas más significativas del siglo XX. Punto culminante de la primera etapa estética de García Lorca, no por más, el propio poeta lo define como el poema de Andalucía, y lo llamo gitano porque el gitano es lo más elevado, lo más profundo, más aristocrático de mi país, lo más representativo de su modo y el que guarda el ascua, la sangre y el alfabeto de la verdad andaluza y universal. Es, sin embargo, un libro donde apenas sí está expresada la Andalucía que se ve, pero donde está temblando la que no se ve: un libro antipintoresco, antifolclórico, antiflamenco..., donde las figuras sirven a fondos milenarios y donde no hay más que un personaje grande y oscuro como un cielo de estío... la Pena.

About the Author

Federico Garcia Lorca was born in 1898 in Fuente Vaqueros, a few miles outside Granada in the province of Andalusia, southern Spain. From an early age he was fascinated by Spain's mixed heritage, adapting its ancient folk songs, ballads, lullabies, and flamenco music into poems and plays. By the age of thirty, he had published five books of poems, culminating in 1928 with Gypsy Ballads, which brought him far-reaching fame. In 1929-30 he studied in New York City, where he wrote the poems—among his most socially engaging and compelling—that were to be published posthumously (and famously) as Poet in New York. Upon returning to Spain he devoted much of his attention to theater, "the poetry which rises from the page . . . and becomes human." In 1936, at the outset of the Spanish Civil War, he was shot to death by anti-Republican rebels in Franco's army, and his books were banned and destroyed.
