Conducted in Spanish, the course introduces the principles of literary analysis, based on reading and discussion of Hispanic literary texts. Includes fiction, drama, essay, and poetry from Spain and Spanish America.
Course narrative: Before taking this class, I had not read a lot of poems or drama from Spain or Spanish America. Professora Fernández presented the material in a very engaging and interesting way. I learned a lot not only about Spanish and Hispanic literature, but also about the structure of literature, regardless of language. I really enjoyed the unit on poetry because it pushed me and challenged me. The source language was often difficult for me to translate because it used archaic forms of Spanish or vocabulary that I wasn't familiar with. You can see the group presentation I was a part of on the subject of Romantic poetry here. This class fulfilled the MLO 3 requirement.
