Hemingway and Lorca: Blood, Sand, and Duende by Barbara Scott
Immerse yourself in the vibrant world of Andalusia’s ancient culture with Hemingway and Lorca: Blood, Sand, and Duende by Barbara Scott. This compelling literary study explores how the rich heritage of Southern Spain profoundly shaped the works of Ernest Hemingway and Federico García Lorca, two literary giants born continents apart yet united by the region’s evocative traditions. From the blood and sand of the bullring to the soulful rhythms of gypsy flamenco and the mystical essence of duende, this book reveals how Andalusia’s history—crafted by Phoenicians, Romans, Moors, and more—infused the poetry of Lorca and the prose of Hemingway.
Focusing on Hemingway’s iconic The Sun Also Rises and Lorca’s poignant Lament for Ignacio Sánchez Mejías, this analysis uncovers the cultural and historical forces behind their rhythmic, powerful styles. Ideal for scholars, students, and lovers of classic literature, this book offers profound insights into how Andalusia’s culture of life and death inspired two of the 20th Century’s most influential writers.
