The Poetics of the Apocalypse

Federico García Lorca's Poet in New York

An in-depth study to date of García Lorca's "dark period," this volume moves away from biographical criticism to relate the darkness to the duende's presence. It examines how Lorca meshes biblical apocalyptic discourse with his distinctively pantheistic imagery to represent a battle that is at once social, political, and mythical.
