Born in Fuente Vaqueros, Granada, Spain, June 5 1898; died near Granada, August 19 1936, García Lorca is one of Spain's most deeply appreciated and highly revered poets and dramatists.

He must now be bracketed with Machado as one of the two greatest poets Spain has produced in the 20th century, and he is certainly Spain's greatest dramatist since the Golden Age.

No veo la obra como un guiñol que hoy consideremos adecuada para los niños, aunque hace referencia a ellos el propio autor en el prólogo. No me ha gustado demasiado.
