Valle-Inclan considered as actor, director and playwright, with bibliography of his plays. Daring, innovative, controversial, often satirical, a dramatist ahead of his time, Ram?n del Valle-Incl?n (1866-1936) was one of Spain's 'Generation of 1898', and an influence on such later movements as the Theatre of Cruelty andthe Theatre of the Absurd. Lima's study first examines Valle-Incl?n's day-to-day involvement with the theatre as actor, director-dramaturg and playwright. This is followed by an account of Valle-Inclan's full-length and one-act plays, which demonstrate the foibles and follies of human behaviour, and are discussed here under a variety of thematic headings. There follows an up-to-date bibliography of the plays, from editions contemporary with the author through those published posthumously; it includes translations of the dramas into many languages, as well as a worldwide selection of critical studies. ROBERT LIMA is Professor Emeritus of Spanish and Comparative Literatures, The Pennsylvania State University.
