Noël Valis reveals how this quality gives shape to the ways in which he has been continuously reimagined since his death. Lorca’s execution at the start of the Spanish Civil War was not only horrific but transformative, setting in motion many of the poet’s afterlives. He is intimately tied to both an individual and a collective identity, as the people’s poet, a gay icon, and fabled member of a dead poets’ society. The specter of his violent death continues to haunt everything connected to Lorca, fueling the desire to fill in the gaps in the poet’s biography.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 235mmItem Length: 156mmAuthor: Noel ValisGenre: Literary CriticismRelease Year: 2022 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
