In 1976 a dozen hopeful young Mexican dramatists – most of them studying with Emilio Carballido – began staging plays, primarily in small, out-of-the-way theater, and publishing them, mostly in university magazines with limited distribution. Until now, more than twenty years later, there has been no comprehensive study devoted either to this original group of writers or to those who followed in the same generation, and no central source of information about them or their production. Although they continue to produce more plays every year, they represent a lost generation. Ronald Burgess now offers the first extensive study of this group of playwrights and their work. Included is discussi...

Volume exploring the important but neglected Spanish female poet Angela Figuera Aymerich. Angela Figuera Aymerich (1902-84) remains an obscure figure among the Spanish social poets of the Franco regime, her work almost entirely eclipsed by male contemporaries. This book attempts both to bring her poetry to the attention of a wider audience and to show how her work anticipates the generation of women writers and poets who have emerged since the coming of democracy. Focusing primarily on a selection of poems published between 1948 and 1962, Dr Evans shows how her work has been mistakenly ignored as maternal in essence and so of little interest to the poetry of social protest in general.

Carballido's plays are a staple of the theatre scene in Mexico City and are also frequently staged in Europe, the United States, and throughout Latin America. He has written more than thirty full-length plays and more than sixty one-act pieces as well as movie scripts, adaptations, and works for children's theatre. More than fifteen years have passed since the last book appeared on Carballido's theatre, during which he has written a score of new plays.
This resource compiles and locates biographical and bibliographical information of over 700 prominent Latin American dramatists of the late 20th century and their plays in 20 different countries, and it lists over 7,000 plays arranged by country and by author.

Adam Versényi indaga en la historia del teatro latinoamericano desde la época precolombina hasta el drama contemporáneo. El teatro en América Latina ha sido históricamente una poderosa fuerza para el cambio social y frecuentemente ha combinado lo religioso y lo político con la práctica del espectáculo para crear un estilo de drama típico de la región. Versényi investiga esta específica interconexión de religión, política y teatro, llegando a la conclusión de que está presente ya desde los primeros contactos entre Cortés y los aztecas, y a través de la influencia española en el drama contemporáneo de marcada carga política en países como Cuba, Argentina, Chile y otros. Su estudio no sólo entrega una historia teatral de América Latina, sino que ofrece una detallada explicación de cómo los elementos teatrales, políticos y teológicos se han mezclado consistentemente en la historia de América Latina, y por qué ha sido así.
