«Doña Rosita the Spinster or the Language of Flowers» is the play by Federico García Lorca, published by Espasa Calpe in paperback (186 pages).
Set in a provincial city, Granada, the play follows Rosita, who waits years for her fiancé's return while her surroundings change with the new century. Lorca portrays the solitude and disillusionment of a static Spain with the tone of a turn-of-the-century comedy. It was his last premiere in his lifetime, in 1935, with Margarita Xirgu.
It belongs to the Austral Collection, number 197, edited by Luis Martínez Cuitiño, with bibliography (pp. 61-64).
A common reading in schools and universities, useful for those studying twentieth-century Spanish theatre and García Lorca's work.
Federico del Sagrado Corazón de Jesús García Lorca was a Spanish poet, playwright, and theatre director. García Lorca achieved international recognition as an emblematic member of the Generation of '27, a group consisting mostly of poets who introduced the tenets of European movements into Spanish literature.
