The Best Hispanic Poetry: Emotion for the Contemporary Reader

Undergraduate

This seminar proposes the study and in-depth analysis of some of the most relevant works of Hispanic poetry. Attention will be paid to the poetic form itself, since without this formal component, the full artistic scope of lyric poetry cannot be understood. On this basis, we will organize our course around several significant themes and authors: love and erotic poetry, poetry about transcendence, modern subjectivity in the face of urban civilization, poetry with social themes and a political vocation, concluding with the intersection of poetry and music in songs by well-known authors. Not open to students who have received credit for SPAN 43.04.
