«Doña Rosita the Spinster or The Language of the Flowers» is the play by Federico García Lorca, published by Austral in paperback (176 pages, in Spanish).
Rosita, a maiden from Granada, watches the years pass while others gradually turn her into a spinster. Each act takes place in a different era, from the end of the nineteenth century to the Roaring Twenties. Lorca presented it as a comedy, but in reality it is a drama about female repression, Spanish pretentiousness and prudishness.
It belongs to Austral's Contemporánea collection (number 197), with edition and introduction by Luis Martínez Cuitiño.
May interest students of literature and readers of twentieth-century Spanish classical theatre.
Federico del Sagrado Corazón de Jesús García Lorca was a Spanish poet, playwright, and theatre director.
