SPN 745 - Spanish Literature: “Fin De Siglo”

3 Credit(s) An intensive introduction to the “fin de siglo” literary movements of Spain’s late 19th and early 20th centuries with particular emphasis on “modernismo” and the “generacion del 98.” The sense of rupture and repetition, order and chaos present in Spain at the turn of the century will inform class readings. Special attention will be given to the definition of genre and the development of critical vocabulary and techniques.
Prerequisite: Intermediate knowledge of Spanish is required.
