SN 376 - Romanticism in Spain

(3.00 cr.)

Spanish Romanticism emerges as a direct response to the conflicts and concerns of a country undergoing a series of rapid transformations during the first half of the nineteenth century. The most important authors of the period explored the idea of individual freedom in social, political, and artistic contexts while at the same time reflecting the struggle between traditional values and newer forms of thought and expression. This course covers important examples of the prose, poetry, and theater of the period with emphasis on major authors such as Larra, Espronceda, Bécquer and Rosalía de Castro.
