And from the 1st web page of the introduction:
Alongside 3 Tragedies which is already released,
this quantity of comedies and tragi-comedies essentially exhibits
the variety of the theatre of Federico Garcia Lorca. it's
a variety that extends from a poetic farce like The Billy
Club Puppets (Los Titeres de Cachiporra) to the schematic
and highly-realistic tragedy of the home of Bernarda Alba.
Not simply did Garcia Lorca’s diversity contain the extremes
of dramatic expression, yet he tended to mix them in
the comparable play—tragedy and farce, for example. In this re­
spect The Love of Don PerlimpUn is very consultant of
him as a playwright. On the one hand he cultivated the paintings
of brief dialogues which are little greater than sketches and at the
other of such absolutely constructed dramas of personality as Dona
Rosita, The Spinster, which is represented in this volume.
These stark theatre varieties practiced by way of Lorca are strik­-
ingly parallel to the types his poetry took. This truth contra­-
dicts the concept that he used to be essentially a lyric poet who set
out consciously to adapt his paintings to the theatrical medium,
as could be the case with different smooth poet-playwrights. In
the advent to 3 Tragedies of Lorca it is proven
that Federico’s first dramatic makes an attempt coincided with his
first poems. With early adolescence rate reductions, from his damaged-
open pottery financial institution, he got a toy theatre, and simply because
there have been no performs for it, nor for the toy marionettes the
family had, he invented performs for it. Many of his adolescence
games have been theatrical in nature. He dressed his brother and
sisters and the servants in the Granada condominium in the outfits
of absent grownups, or in towels to develop into Moors, and so they
recited dramatic poems or acted out people ballads he tailored
into performs. In those video games fiction took on truth, and through the
same ability fact took on a magical secret. Later this
transformation continued, and hence, in Lorca, performs resulted
from a imaginative and prescient of lifestyles which observed every thing in dramatic phrases.
The similar imaginative and prescient is frequently found in his poetry.
