SPAN 0070 - CERVANTES IN ENGLISH


Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
Cervantes' Don Quixote is, without question, the most influential literary work written in the Spanish language. This course uses a modern English translation of cervantes, and all readings, assignments, and discussions are in English. Class sessions will situate Don Quixote in its historical and global context and identify twenty-first century instances of quixotism and neo-chivalry. Course themes explore major topics in cervantes criticism, including madness, chivalry, gender roles, class and race relations, and baroque perspective. Students will engage in close readings of the text, personal reading responses, analytic essays, and an individually defined final project. Spanish majors or minors enrolled in the course will have the option to develop a dual-language project.
