Federico del Sagrado Coraz�n de Jes�s Garc�a Lorca, known as Federico Garc�a Lorca was a Spanish poet, playwright, and theatre director. Garc�a Lorca achieved international recognition as an emblematic member of the Generation of '27. He was executed by Nationalist forces during the Spanish Civil War. In 2008, a Spanish judge opened an investigation into Lorca's death. The Garc�a Lorca family eventually dropped objections to the excavation of a potential gravesite near Alfacar, but no human remains were found. According to Spanish naming customs, Garc�a Lorca is sometimes referred to simply as "Lorca", his second surname. However, he should never be alphabetized under that name.
