SPAN 425 - Survey of Hispanic Literature for Teachers of Spanish

This course surveys key literary movements of Hispanic literature from the Middle Ages through the end of the 20th century, and reviews the biographical profiles of its most prominent authors. Additionally, we will review the terminology, forms and structures of the three literary genres (narrative, poetry and drama), as these are taught in standard “Introduction to Hispanic Literature” courses. We will work with the two main textbooks available to instructors for these introductory courses, and we will evaluate the pros and cons of each. It is not required to have taught literature in Spanish to take this course.
