AREL 860 - The Novella Tradition in Spain and Latin America

3 credits
Examines the origins, tradition, and impact of the novella as an important subgenre of Spanish/Latin American literature. Beyond distinguishing the characteristics of novellas, students analyze the elements of fiction of each novella considered. The readings present the Hispanic novella as a genre suitable for the artistic expression of themes around race, gender, and sexuality. Pays particular attention to: the reshaping of the Italian genre in the “exemplary” novellas of Spain; the use of the genre by authors of the Latin-American boom of the 1960s; and more recent articulations connected to postmodern and neorealist tendencies. Taught entirely in English, with all readings available in translation. Readings may include: Miguel de Cervantes’ Exemplary Novels, María de Zayas’ Disenchantments of Love, Ana María Matute’s Celebration in the Northwest, and more.
