MSP 3343 Introduction to Hispanic Literature
This course is an introduction to the critical reading of the literature of Spain and Spanish America. Not only will the course familiarize you with some important literary texts, but it will also help you learn the critical vocabulary (narratological, poetic, dramaturgical) needed to analyze and communicate ideas effectively about these. We will read representative works of the following three genres: prose fiction, theater and poetry, while reflecting on the concept of genre itself. The course will include substantial written homework, as well as two papers. The writing assignments for the course are intended to help students improve their Spanish while promoting discussion of the texts studied in class.
