Lorca: Women and Sexuality in his Work

Paper Summary:

This paper examines the work of Federico Garcia Lorca and discusses how he contributed to the feeling of femininity and sexuality for Spanish women during the early 1900s. It also looks at the political turmoil that characterized that time period, how this affected his work, and, ultimately, caused his untimely death.

From the Paper:

"When Lorca returned to Madrid in 1931 the "La Barraca" was organized and inaugurated by his participation in the Second Ordinary Congress of the Federal Union of Hispanic Students. This traveling theater would bring many of the Spanish classics to towns, villages and cities across Spain, giving Lorca also the opportunity to have three of his own plays performed "Blood Wedding (1933), Yerma (1934), and The House of Bernarda Alba" (1936)."
