{"product_id":"apocryphal-lorca-jonathan-mayhew-9780226512037","title":"Apocryphal Lorca: Translation, Parody, Kitsch","description":"\u003cp\u003eFederico García Lorca (1898-1936) had enormous impact on the generation of American poets who came of age during the cold war, from Robert Duncan and Allen Ginsberg to Robert Creeley and Jerome Rothenberg. In large numbers, these poets have not only translated his works, but written imitations, parodies, and pastiches--along with essays and critical reviews. Jonathan Mayhew's \u003ci\u003eApocryphal Lorca\u003c\/i\u003e is an exploration of the afterlife of this legendary Spanish writer in the poetic culture of the United States. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The book examines how Lorca in English translation has become a specifically American poet, adapted to American cultural and ideological desiderata--one that bears little resemblance to the original corpus, or even to Lorca's Spanish legacy. As Mayhew assesses Lorca's considerable influence on the American literary scene of the latter half of the twentieth century, he uncovers fundamental truths about contemporary poetry, the uses and abuses of translation, and Lorca himself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jonathan Mayhew\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0226512037\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780226512037\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Chicago Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/07\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.70h x 5.80w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2009","brand":"Jonathan Mayhew","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086415212799,"sku":"9780226512037","price":61.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4afc6b8d-a3d1-4c74-bc0a-27be26eadeac.jpg?v=1769094540","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/apocryphal-lorca-jonathan-mayhew-9780226512037","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
