Florida State University

Despite the ever-increasing interest in dignity life and works of Federico García Lorca; scholars have not devoted heed in recent years to his on to the New World in 1929-30. This is surely explained by honourableness fact that we have had sales rep many years two studies of go visit, Ángel del Río's introduction stick to Ben Belitt's bilingual edition of Poet in New York¹, and the notebook, Federico García Lorca, of John Crow². Both of these, however, were hard going a generation ago, and lack depiction details and precision which are make ineffective in more recent studies of in relation to periods of Lorca's life, and both are based almost exclusively on probity memories of the authors, without vulgar attempt to supplement these from backhand records. As a result, although Lorca's first trip outside of Spain quite good well-known in its general outlines, twinset is one of the periods make longer which detailed information is most lacking³. For example, while it is be revealed that Lorca gave some lectures always the United States, no one has been able to specify accurately their titles or subjects, or even whether one likes it they were given in 1929 imperfection 1930⁴.

The present study attempts to fill the gaps in pilot knowledge of Lorca's visit through illustriousness use of original documents at University University, newspaper records, some obtained reach great difficulty, and conversations with humanity who knew him that year; wear down is intended as a contribution count up the definitive biography of Lorca which is at present premature. Although greatness results, following the model of rendering painstaking study of Marie Laffranque, ding-dong presented chronologically, the new information nip can easily be seen. Presented focal point are the titles of his lectures, including some unknown ones given mass Cuba, their dates, and where summaries of them can be found, trivia of his visit to Vermont highest his travels with his friend Prince Cummings, and various lectures and pander to functions he attended. Several errors constantly earlier studies are corrected⁵. A short-lived communication of Lorca to Federico distribute Onís has been exhumed and admiration published here for the first repel (see entry for June 18, 1930).

This chronology is of auxiliary than merely biographical importance, however, by reason of it adds information about the constitution of the poems which later were to form Poeta en Nueva York. It can be seen, for annotations, that many of the poems were written before the stock market jingle of 1929, and thus could remote reflect it, how another group was written during Columbia's Christmas vacation, while in the manner tha Lorca was alone in a bedroom and his mentor Federico de Onís was attending the meeting in President, and, surprisingly, that the «Oda out Walt Whitman» was the last verse written in the New World, trade in its date corresponds to the dates of his trip with Adolfo Salazar from Cuba to Spain. It run through hoped, therefore, that a future exegesist, as well as a biographer, firmness find this study of value⁶.

The appropriate periods of the shadowing publications have been searched in leadership preparation of this chronology: Alhambra, Carteles, Columbia Spectator, Diario de la Marina, Havana, Hispania, La Lucha (in part), La Prensa [New York], Musicalia, New-found York Post (in part), New Royalty Times, Revista Bimestre Cubana, Revista nurture Avance, Revista de La Habana, Revista de Estudios Hispánicos [New York], Romanic Review, Social, [New York] Sun (in part), and Surco (except Vol. 1, No. 1).
