Ramón María del Valle Inclán 'Savage Comedies'

<p>Among the great figures of European modernism Ramón Maria del Valle-Inclán (1866-1936) remains relatively unknown and unappreciated outside his native Spain. His large and diverse oeuvre includes prose poetry drama as well as critical and journalistic essays. His deeply personal belletristic style evolved from the symbolist aesthetic to the more mature variant of expressionism of his output in the 1920s and '30s which he termed <em>esperpento</em>.</p><p>This volume presents translations of his dramatic trilogy <em>Comedias Bárbaras</em> (Savage Comedies) consisting of <em>Cara de plata</em> (Golden Boy 1922) <em>Águila de blasón</em> (The Blazoned Eagle 1907) and <em>Romance de Lobos</em> (Wolves Rampant 1908) together with notes and an introduction that will provide readers with historical and biographical context.</p>
