SPAN 30803 Introduction to Literature
Prerequisites: SPAN 30503, 30603, or 31703. This course explores the techniques and strategies necessary for the study and appreciation of literary
texts in Spanish. This objective will be realized through the analysis of representative works in each of the four basic genres (drama, poetry, narrative, and essay) and their variations, paying close attention to the historical and cultural contexts within which authors and their works are placed. The selected texts cover
a variety of literatures produced in Spanish-speaking societies. This course is a prerequisite for all 40000-level literature courses.
