3.00 Credits
An overview of the richness and variety of Spanish literature. First semester: We journey from the fragmentary beginnings of Spanish literature in poetic folk songs through hero sagas, expressions of spirituality, comic plays, and parables of the wise, and end with the darkly comic classic novel in dialogue, La Celestina. Second semester: We discuss the impact of the Enlightenment in Spain and experience Galdos’s realism, Bécquer’s romanticism, and the moving poetry of the Generation of 1898, among other delights in the mature Spanish canon. We conclude our journey with the literature chronicling the devastating Spanish Civil War in the twentieth century, and examine the new directions Spanish literature has taken after the end of dictatorship and the restoration of the monarchy.
