This course is intended to be the equivalent of a third-year college Introduction to Latin America and/or Peninsular Literature course. The intent is to offer the student a panoramic view of Hispanic works of literature while identifying intrinsic differences and variations in each. Students will read literary texts of many genres in Spanish and will be expected to critically analyze the form and content of these works. Special attention will be paid to poetic interpretation and terminology. Students who are enrolled in AP Spanish Literature are expected to take the AP Spanish Literature Exam in May.
