HISPANOAMERICAN LITERATURE 2

The course is aimed at investigating linguistic differences between Standard Spanish and American Spanish; a deep knowledge of the mainstream authors of Latin American Literature is also required. A further aim of the course is to develop critical awareness and intrepretation of literary texts from the period under investigation.

The course provides an overview of the Hispanic American literary history, from the Independence to the present day, paying attention to the innovative structures of Spanish American fiction, through the analysis of Juan Rulfo’s works.
