Progressive Spanish writers and intellectuals have consistently felt out of place in Spain, whose traditional power structures for centuries resisted the advent of modernity. Still, Spaniards managed to produce texts, images, and films of astounding quality and innovation. This course studies a selection of outstanding Spanish plays, novelas, poems, and short stories from the late 18th century to the present. Authors studied include Garcia Lorca, Sender, Becquer, Moratin, Perez Galdos, Rosalia de Castro, Gomez de Avellaneda, Unamuno, Larra, Garcia Morales, and others. Taught in Spanish.
