Format: Paperback
What do the conditions mean?
Our conditions mean the following:
- New - a brand new book
- Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
- Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
- Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
- Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

In Doña Rosita the Spinster, set in Granada around 1900,
Lorca paints a sympathetic picture of a young girl as she waits in vain
for her fiancé to return and her hopes of marriage fade. The fate of
Rosita, symbolised by the rosa mutabile, which pales from red to pink
to white in the course of a day, appears the more poignant as Lorca
casts a satirical eye at the middle-class society of Granada by which
she is surrounded.
First performed in 1935, Doña Rosita was greeted as one of Lorca's finest achievements and it remains a classic work of Spanish theatre alongside Lorca's Blood Wedding, The House of Bernarda Alba and Yerma.
This Student Edition features parallel English and Spanish texts of the
play, together with a full commentary, questions and a bibliography.
'Doña Rosita is the most accessible and personal of all his plays - a wistful tragic-comedy of unfulfilled love' Guardian
