This is a study of the Spanish dramatist RamØn del Valle-Inclan (1866-1936). John Lyon shows that Valle has links with two avant-garde movements: the turn of the century Symbolism associated with Maeterlinck and Yeats, and the anti-tragic values which surfaced in the 1920s and culminated in Absurdism.
The plays studied in this book constitute veritable landmarks in the affirmation of the dramatic voice of Spanish playwright Ramon del Valle-Inclan. The three plays, as this study shows, prove crucial to the development of a theatre of unparalleled innovative force in the annals of twentieth-century Spanish letters.
Written in the early 1920s, Lights of Bohemia is set in the twilight phase of Madrid's bohemian artistic life against the turbulent social and political background of events between 1900 and 1920.
Among the great figures of European modernism, Ramón Maria del Valle-Inclán (1866-1936) remains relatively unknown and unappreciated outside his native Spain. His large and diverse oeuvre includes prose, poetry, drama as well as critical and journalistic essays. His deeply personal belletristic style evolved from the symbolist aesthetic to the more mature variant of expressionism of his output in the 1920s and '30s, which he termed esperpento. This volume presents translations of his dramatic trilogy Comedias Bárbaras (Savage Comedies), consisting of Cara de plata (Golden Boy, 1922), Águila de blasón (The Blazoned Eagle, 1907) and Romance de Lobos (Wolves Rampant, 1908), together with notes and an introduction that will provide readers with historical and biographical context.
