1 Course Unit

This course treats multiple aspects of Spanish theater from the Golden Age (16th and 17th centuries) to the present through the reading of some of the main dramatists of the Spanish literary canon, such as Lope de Vega, Cervantes, and Lorca. We will focus on textual analysis and performance as two fundamental elements in the understanding and appreciation of Spanish theater. Students will thus gain an understanding of how to interpret the the theatrical text, whether for meaning or performance. Not Offered Every Year Prerequisite: SPAN 1800 OR SPAN 1900 1 Course Unit
