This course will analyze and help students to develop a comprehensive understanding of the "Modernista" movement, whose aesthetic and philosophical principles were dominant throughout the literature of the Hispanic world at the end of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth. "Modernismo" was primarily concerned with reforming poetic language and experimenting with rhythm, meter, and imagery. Its principles, however, also influenced narrative fiction, fictional prose and the theatre. We will study the most important manifestations of this renovation through the close reading and analysis of Spanish American writers, with special emphasis on Jose Marti, the precursor of the movement and Ruben Dario, its guiding force.
