Dimensions (in inches): 0.59 x 6.87 x 4.41
Yerma is a concentrated blend
of contrasting moods throuh which Lorca charts the increasingly
destructive obsession of a childless young country wife, and probes
the darker zones of human fears and desires. There is a powerful combination of verbal, visual and auditory
images and rhythms - also geared to celebrating sexual attraction
and fertility, creation and procreation. Lorca raises the
question of women's social status. The book examines
the links between the dramatic structure of Yerma and the importance
of cultural politics during the turbulent course of the Second
Spanish Republic. There is an introduction
and notes in English, as well as by an extensive vocabulary and
section of discussion questions. |
