«Romancero gitano» is the poetry collection by Federico García Lorca published by Austral in paperback (240 pages, in Spanish).
Lorca defined this collection as «el poema de Andalucía»: the gypsy world serves as the axis of romances that fuse popular tradition with the avant-garde. Far from costumbrismo and picturesque folklore, the work builds a symbolic and profound Andalusia, with grief as a central figure and love, death and violence surfacing in its verses.
The collection was originally published in 1928; this Austral edition belongs to the Contemporánea collection and includes the study by Christian De Paepe and the introduction by Esperanza Ortega.
It is a work noted as prescribed reading for secondary education in several autonomous communities, and a reference of twentieth-century Spanish poetry.
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.
