Subject:

Description:

This course provides an introduction to Spanish literature through a variety of genres, including poetry, short stories, novels, dramas and essays. Course material begins with the 11th century, when the first literary texts in Spanish were written, and continues through to the Baroque period. Special attention is focused on "golden age" literature, an especially rich period of literary production in Spain. In order to provide students with a greater understanding of Spanish culture, discussions take into account the historical and cultural contexts in which these texts were produced. Students also explore artistic contributions to this culture from the fields of music, painting, and sculpture. Students are required to read texts closely, in the original. The course is conducted in Spanish.
