Books by James Lloyd

James Lloyd (1946-1991) came to Spanish drama via the Classical theatre of Greece and Rome. As a Lope enthusiast, his favourite birthday treat was to translate and perform a different play each year for his friends. His verse translations of the plays of Lope de Vega aimed to capture the drama and pace of the astonishingly versatile original language. James Lloyd will be remembered as a great polymath, polyglot, family man and teacher of many languages who died prematurely soon after this book was published.
