Antes de la publicación del "Romancero gitano", Federico García Lorca (1898-1936) quiso adelantar CANCIONES como muestra de la variedad y riqueza de su registro poético. El fino libro, obra ya de plena madurez, aparecería en Málaga, en 1927, como suplemento de la revista «Litoral». La presente edición, fijada a partir de las dos primeras y de los autógrafos conocidos, se complementa con una valiosa introducción y los comentarios del propio poeta sobre la obra a través de fragmentos de su epistolario, ordenados cronológicamente.

Born in Fuente Vaqueros, Granada, Spain, June 5 1898; died near Granada, August 19 1936, García Lorca is one of Spain's most deeply appreciated and highly revered poets and dramatists. His murder by the Nationalists at the start of the Spanish civil war brought sudden international fame, accompanied by an excess of political rhetoric which led a later generation to question his merits; after the inevitable slump, his reputation has recovered (largely with a shift in interest to the less obvious works). He must now be bracketed with Machado as one of the two greatest poets Spain has produced in the 20th century, and he is certainly Spain's greatest dramatist since the Golden Age.
