Valle-Inclán: A Theatrical Revolution
Ramón María del Valle-Inclán is arguably the most complex and exciting writer of the twentieth century. He was a writer too modern for his time. His theater was so new and unknown to the public that it was kept away from the Spanish scene for over forty years. Valle-Inclán invented a new form of drama and a new conception of the stage.
