Web sobre Federico García Lorca (1898-1936), destacado poeta , dramaturgo y narrador, que forma parte de la Generación del 27, en el contexto de la literatura española del siglo XX . Natural de Fuente Vaqueros (Granada), la vida y trayectoria intelectual de García Lorca se truncaron bruscamente en agosto de 1936, con el inicio de la guerra civil española. Su poesía, teatro y prosa reflejan el habla, la música y las costumbres de la sociedad rural española donde el surrealismo contrasta con la imagen real de España. «El teatro es uno de los más expresivos y útiles instrumentos para la educación de un país y el barómetro que marca su grandeza o su descenso. Un teatro sensible y bien orientado en todas sus ramas, desde la tragedia al vodevil, puede cambiar en pocos años la sensibilidad de un pueblo; y un teatro destrozado, donde las pezuñas sustituyen a las alas, puede achabacanar a una nación entera. El teatro es una escuela de llanto y de risa y una tribuna libre donde los hombres pueden poner en evidencia morales viejas o equivocadas y explicar con ejemplos vivos normas eternas del corazón y el sentimiento del hombre». Federico García Lorca, palabras en el Teatro Español de Madrid durante una representación especial de Yerma , [1934-1935]. Federico García Lorca y la generación del 27. La Generación del 27 se divide en tres etapas según los cambios de estilo de los escritores debido a las influencias externas de la historia. En la primera (hasta 1927) se puede percibir el influjo de la lírica popular , mediante cual tratan eliminan el sentimiento y se centran en buscar la emoción artística, la cual da pie al uso de la metáfora. En la segunda etapa (1927-1936) predomina el proceso de rehumanización y el uso de las vanguardias, el surrealismo en concreto. La tercera etapa (después de la guerra) está marcada por el exilio de los artistas, los cuales se dedicaron a escribir respecto a su nostalgia de la España lejana. Los que continuaron residiendo en el pais, en cambio, mostraban mediante sus obras un. Federico García Lorca. Entre los escritores de la generación del 27 destacan Pedro Salinas, Rafael Alberti y Federico García Lorca. Lorca compartía, junto con otros, características como la ruptura con el pasado y las influencias modernas en sus obras. La simbología tambien es subrayable en este autor, la cual muestra su gusto por los elementos tradicionales. Aunque Lorca asimiló la influencia moderna, sus obras están plagadas de tradicionalismos. La metáfora también es el procedimiento central de su estilo, haciendo uso de condensaciones expresivas y de elipsis. Federico Garcia Lorca. Spanish poet and dramatist, Lorca was a talented artist and a member of the 'Generation of 1927', a group of writers who advocated avant- gardism in literature. García Lorca read law at the University of Granada. At the same time he studied music collaborating in the 1920s with Manuel de Falla, becoming an expert pianist and guitar player. In Madrid he entered the Residence de Estudiantes, a modern college and the intellectual center of the town. During this period his friends included the writers Juan Ramón Jiménez. and Pablo Neruda. He also worked with Salvador Dali and Louis Bunuel in different productions. When the two made their notorious short film Un Chien Andalou (1928), García Lorca was offended: he thought that the film was about him. Through recitals of his poetry García Lorca became known even before the publication of his first collection. As a writer García Lorca made his debut with 'Libro De Poemas' (1921), a collection of fablelike poems. In 1923 García Lorca earned a degree in law, but the turning point in his literary career was folk music festival Fiesta de Cante Jondo in 1922, where he found inspiration for his work from the traditions of folk and gypsy music. In 1927 García Lorca gained fame with his romantic historical play arina Pineda where the scenery was constructed by Salavador Dali and the distinguished actress Margarita Xirgu played the heroine. By 1928, with the publication of RIMER ROMANCERO GITANO he was the best- known of all Spanish poets, and leading member of the 'Generation of 27', which included Luis Cernuda, Jorge Guillen, Pedro Salinas, Rafael Alberti and others. In 1929-30 García Lorca lived in the city of New York, on the campus of Columbia University. Unable to speak English he suffered a deep culture shock. His suicidal mood was recorded in posthumously published OETA EN NUEVA YORK(1940, Poet in New York), in which he praised Walt Whitman. The poet condemns the frightening, physically and spiritually corrupted city, and escapes to Havana to experience the harmony of a more primitive life. After a short visit to Cuba, García Lorca was back in Spain by 1931, and continued with theatre productions. He became the head the traveling theatrical company, La Barraca, which brought classical plays and other dramas to the provinces. After the death of his friend, a bullfighter, García Lorca wrote ament for the Death of a Bullfighter(1935), which has been regarded by most critics as his greatest poem. The work is divided into four sections, whose individual motifs are weaved together. The figure of one man facing death in the bullring, exemplified by his friend Ignacio Sánchez Mejías, expressed the author's tragic sense of death. Mejías himself had written a play and he was well-known in the literary circles. García Lorca's central themes in his works are love, pride, passion and violent death, which also marked his own life. The Spanish Civil War began in 1936 and García Lorca was seen by the right-wing forces as an enemy. The author hid from the soldiers but he was soon found, dragged from a friend's house, and shot in Granada on August 19/20 of 1936 without trial by the Nationalists. The circumstances of his death are still shrouded in mystery. He was buried in a grave that he had been forced to dig for himself. Federico García Lorca.

Federico García Lorca , (born June 5, 1898, Fuente Vaqueros, Granada province, Spain—died August 18 or 19, 1936, between Víznar and Alfacar, Granada province), Spanish poet and playwright who, in a career that spanned just 19 years, resurrected and revitalized the most basic strains of Spanish poetry and theatre. He is known primarily for his Andalusian works, including the poetry collections Romancero gitano (1928; Gypsy Ballads ) and Llanto por Ignacio Sánchez Mejías (1935; “Lament for Ignacio Sánchez Mejías,” Eng. trans. Lament for a Bullfighter ), and the tragedies Bodas de sangre (1933; Blood Wedding ), Yerma (1934; Eng. trans. Yerma ), and La casa de Bernarda Alba (1936; The House of Bernarda Alba ). In the early 1930s Lorca helped inaugurate a second Golden Age of the Spanish theatre. He was executed by a Nationalist firing squad in the first months of the Spanish Civil War. Why is Federico García Lorca important? In a career spanning just 19 years, Federico García Lorca resurrected and revitalized the most basic strains of Spanish poetry and helped inaugurate a second Golden Age of the Spanish theater. Lorca was the most important Spanish poet and playwright of the 20th century, and his work still influences writers and artists throughout the world. What was Federico García Lorca’s childhood like? The eldest of four children born to a wealthy landowner and his schoolteacher wife, Federico García Lorca grew up in rural Andalusia amid images and social conditions that later influenced his work. At age 10 he moved with his family to Granada, where he attended a private, secular institute and a Roman Catholic public school. Where was Federico García Lorca educated? Federico García Lorca enrolled in the University of Granada but was a hapless student best known for his extraordinary talents as a pianist. He took nine years to complete a bachelor’s degree. What did Federico García Lorca write? Federico García Lorca is known primarily for his Andalusian works, including the poetry collections Gypsy Ballads (1928) and Lament for a Bullfighter (1935), and the tragedies Blood Wedding (1933), Yerma (1934), and The House of Bernarda Alba (1936). How did Federico García Lorca die? On August 16, 1936, at the beginning of the Spanish Civil War, Federico García Lorca was arrested in Granada by Nationalist forces, who abhorred his homosexuality and his liberal views, and was imprisoned without a trial. On the night of August 18 or 19, he was driven to a remote hillside outside town and shot. Early years. The eldest of four children born to a wealthy landowner and his schoolteacher wife, Lorca grew up in rural Andalusia, surrounded by images and social conditions that influenced his work lifelong. At age 10 he moved with his family to Granada, where he attended a private, secular institute in addition to a Catholic public school. Lorca enrolled in the University of Granada but was a hapless student best known for his extraordinary talents as a pianist. He took nine years to complete a bachelor’s degree. Despite plans to become a musician and composer, he turned to writing in his late teens. His first experiments in prose, poetry, and drama reveal an intense spiritual and sexual malaise along with an adolescent devotion to such authors as Shakespeare, Goethe, the Spanish poet Antonio Machado, and the Nicaraguan poet Rubén Darío, father of Hispanic Modernismo, a late and decadent flowering of Romanticism. In 1919 Lorca moved to the Residencia de Estudiantes in Madrid, a prestigious and socially progressive men’s residence hall.

Lorca wrote the first two plays, between 1932 and 1934, with the immediate goal of obtaining commercial and critical recognition before proceeding to implement his desired comprehensive reform of the theater industry in Spain (consider his transparent statement from December 15, 1934, two weeks before the premiere of Yerma, about his “perfectly clear trajectory in the theater,” Obras 545). While the writing of Blood Wedding and Yerma formed a single and continued effort, The House of Bernarda Alba came out as an independent play in June of 1936, just a few weeks before the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War and Lorca’s subsequent execution by a fascist squad in Granada in August of that year. Margarita Xirgu premiered The House of Bernarda Alba in Buenos Aires in 1945. In the analysis of the original context of production and reception of Lorca’s plays, I will limit my study to Blood Wedding and Yerma for the obvious reason that he did not stage The House of Bernarda Alba. Nor did Lorca provide any specific clue about a potential production while he was still alive. From the perspective of textual analysis, I propose a unitary approach to these three works, as they recreate identifiable plot patterns from the contemporary genre of the drama rural as well as from Calderón’s baroque honor plays.

  • Luis Cernuda Habla Con España, De Camino Al Exilio: Una Lectura De “Elegía Española I” Y “II” (1937-1938)
    Luis Cernuda habla con España, de camino al exilio: una lectura de “Elegía española I” y “II” (1937-1938) Renata LONDERO Università di Udine Resumen Se estudia la condición de exiliado íntimo de Luis Cernuda, cuyo estado de otredad y extranjería se reforzó durante el destierro geográfico en el Reino Unido, en los Estados Unidos y en México (1937-1963), del que el gran poeta sevillano nunca regresó. Tras hacer un recorrido por algunos poemas escritos durante la Guerra civil y el comienzo del exilio en Inglaterra, donde ya se expresan todos los vaivenes anímicos cernudianos entre realidad y deseo, desesperación y esperanza, amor y odio hacia su tierra natal, se consideran en particular dos líricas compuestas en 1937 (Valencia) y en 1938 (Londres): “Elegía española, I” y “Elegía española, II”. Se examinan las convergencias y divergencias semánticas y formales entre las dos composiciones, y se concluye que representan el atormentado alejamiento cernudiano de España, inaugurando un camino hacia la represión de la nostalgia y la negación del nostos que el autor alcanza, aunque nunca de forma definitiva, en su vejez mexicana y sobre todo a través del culto de la lengua española y de la poesía. Palabras clave: Cernuda, exilio, poesía, España, elegía. Abstract The essay deals with Luis Cernuda’s inner exile, whose status of alienation and foreignness grew during his geographic banishment in the UK, the USA and Mexico (1937- 1963), from where the great Sevillian poet never returned. After going over some poems written during the Spanish Civil War and the beginning of his exile in England, where all of Cernuda’s spiritual highs and lows are expressed between reality and desire, despair and hope, love and hate towards his native land, two poems in particular are studied.

  • Salinas, Lorca, Alberti Y Cernuda
    EL GRUPO POÉTICO DEL 27: SALINAS, LORCA, ALBERTI Y CERNUDA Recibe el nombre de la celebración de un acto organizado en 1927, en el Ateneo de Sevilla, para conmemorar el tricentenario de la muerte de Góngora, poeta al que admiraban. Está formado este grupo por Pedro Salinas, Jorge Guillén, Dámaso Alonso, Federico García Lorca, Rafael Alberti y Gerardo Diego, que participan en el acto, y por Vicente Aleixandre, Luis Cernuda, Emilio Prados y Manuel Altolaguirre. CARACTERÍSTICAS COMUNES: Son muchos los puntos de coincidencia que acercan a estos escritores al concepto de generación literaria: - Todos ellos nacen en el intervalo de 14 años que median entre el nacimiento de Salinas (1891) y Altolaguirre (1905). - Pertenecían a la clase media-alta y compartían un mismo talante liberal- progresista. - Formación intelectual semejante. La mayoría son universitarios y algunos llegan a ser profesores (Generación de los poetas-profesores). - Coincidieron todos en Madrid en la década de los treinta. - Estuvieron vinculados a la Residencia de Estudiantes, bien como residentes, bien participando en actividades allí organizadas. - Publicaron su poesía en las mismas revistas literarias: “Revista de Occidente”, “Litoral” y “Mediodía”. - Participaron juntos en gran cantidad de actos, homenajes, tertulias, etc. - Colaboraron en la confección de la Antología de la poesía española contemporánea, publicada por Gerardo Diego en 1932, en la que, además de sus poemas, ofrecen un análisis crítico de su poesía, verdadero manifiesto poético de cada uno de ellos. AFINIDADES ESTÉTICAS: TRADICIÓN Y VANGUARDIA: - Los poetas del veintisiete, aunque tienen una concepción muy individualizada de su quehacer poético, comparten la búsqueda de un arte nuevo que busca el equilibrio entre los sentimientos y la razón.

Cernuda in Current Spanish Poetry Abstract The poet Luis Cernuda (Spain, 1902-Mexico, 1963) has left his mark on much of the poetry written in Spain since the sixties. First rediscovered in the Peninsula in the late fifties and early sixties by, among others, Francisco Brines, José Angel Valente, and Jaime Gil de Biedma, his influence became pervasive both through the work of these poets, and, through the reading of Cernuda’s poetry itself, available since 1975 in Harris and Maristany edition. Referring in particular to Biedma, whose impact on younger poets has been significant, this paper examines the presence of Cernuda in certain approaches to language and reality in the poetry of several “poetas de la experiencia” ‘poets of experience,’ such as Jesús García Montero, Felipe Benítez Reyes, and Álvaro García.

  • 1 Writers Working Under Wretched Conditions: Luis Cernuda and The
    Writers working under wretched conditions: Luis Cernuda and the Spanish canon Jordi Larios University of St Andrews With the possible exception of Antonio Machado and Federico García Lorca, Luis Cernuda is the twentieth-century Spanish poet who has attracted most critical attention. The young man from Seville who was upset by the lukewarm reception of his first book of poems, Perfil del aire, in 1927; the virtually unknown Republican exile who came to Britain in 1938, aged 35, without a penny to his name and without any knowledge of English, was to become — after his death in 1963 — one of the most revered Spanish poets of all times. In modern Spanish poetry there is Machado, Lorca and Cernuda, and then there is everyone else. Cernuda’s unassailable position in the canon can hardly be disputed by those who have been exposed to the unrestrained anger, the verbal prowess and the celebration of homosexual desire that characterize his surrealist poems of the late 1920s and early 1930s; or to the more reflective voice that emerges in his exilic poetry, once he had absorbed the lessons of Robert Browning and Alfred Tennyson on the use of the dramatic monologue; or to his ‘Poemas para un cuerpo’, the series of love poems which he wrote late in his rather short life, after falling in love with a young Mexican man, a doomed affair for the sake of which he would give up a comfortable life in the United States, the only decent job he ever had, and the financial security that went with it.
