Specifically, it proposes a study of the literary genres of the 16th and 17th centuries, beginning with the perspective and work of Miguel de Cervantes, author of Quixote, which will serve as a starting point for reading the period's canonical works.
The program is divided into 3 parts:
1) Notes from the origins to the Renaissance: historical-cultural context, poetry of the origins, epic, romancero/cancionero, reading: La Celestina
2) Full Renaissance: historical-cultural context, Italianizing poetry, Cervantes and the novelistic genres of the LotO, readings from: Amadis de Gaula, Lazarillo de Tormes, Los siete libros de Diana, El Abencerraje, Clareo y Florisea, La Galatea, Don Quijote, Novelas Ejemplares, Persiles.
3) The Baroque: historical-cultural context, poetry between conceptism and culteranism, the Comedia Nueva, readings: Lope de Vega, Peribáñez y el Comendador de Ocaña - Tirso de Molina, El burlador de Sevilla (student's choice).
A detailed summary of the topics covered, along with the complete schedule of teaching activities, will be provided at the beginning of the course. The literature history textbooks and other scheduled texts will be indicated by the instructor and are available at the University Libraries.
