Lorca: An Appreciation of His Poetry

Book Description
Mr. Campbell quotes many of Lorca's poems, and his verse translations most of them published for the first time are an important contribution to contemporary English poetry. In translation as well as in critical exposition, the author's present study is informed with his intimate knowledge and devoted love of Lorca's country and language; and, in setting Lorca's particular genius against the attitudes and tendencies predominant in the rest of the world, this essay transcends once more the conventional limits of literary criticism, becoming a poet's declaration of his spiritual loyalties, rejections, and idiosyncrasies.THIS TITLE IS CITED AND RECOMMENDED BY: Books for College Libraries; Catalogue of the Lamont Library, Harvard College.
