Aims

Thanks to thorough study of a work from Spain's "Golden Age" (16th and 17th centuries), the student is able, at the end of the course:
- to produce a rigorous personal analysis of the work in question,
- to show a critical attitude towards the various readings and interpretations already in existence.

Main themes

Thorough study of a literary work of the 16th or 17th century. The comment, attentive to textual problems and accompanied by linguistic remarks, relates as much to the aesthetics of the selected work as to its historical conditions and its ideological, ethnic, and/or philosophical issues.

Content and teaching methods

Thorough study of a Spanish literary work of the Golden Age. The comment, centered on textual analysis, aims to put into perspective differences and evenconflicts of interpretation occasioned by the work.
