Romancero Gitano

Romancero gitano is a collection of Poème S of Federico García Lorca published in 1928. It is the most known collection of the poet. He brought the celebrity to Spain to him, and he is regarded as a major work of the Spanish Littérature of the XXe century.

Anchored in the Generation of 27, the Romancero gitano combines erudite poetry and popular poetry. It is composed of eighteen lovesong S, of the poems of traditional form and topic of the XVe century. These poems are in Octosyllabe S, only the even worms Rime NT between them, in a assonancée way .

Lorca wished to regain this traditional shape to celebrate the culture Tzigane, which nourished the culture of the Andalusia. The collection reflects the sufferings of people which live in margin of the company, persecuted by the representatives of authority.

The poems have as a framework Grenade, Cordoue or Seville. They put in scene characters of Tziganes, like Antoñito el Camborio or the nun gipsy, but also of the saints (Sainte Eulalie), of the biblical characters (Tamar and Amnon), of personifications of natural elements (the the Moon, the Vent).

The Romancero gitano is also known for its sensuality and its use of the Métaphore. Many symbols run in the collection. The moon and the green color often symbolize death. Running water and the horse represent passion and freedom.
