His murder during the Spanish Civil War made him a romantic figure in the eyes of the world, but his lasting fame will rest in the sheer poetry of his plays. The five plays in this volume were written over a period of sixteen years, from 1919 to 1935. They demonstrate the developing quality of García Lorca's work, while an introduction by Francisco García Lorca, Federico's brother, indicates some of the roots of his creative process.'
