SPAN 4310
Tales of Love and Violence

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2016-2017.

The novella,a short fiction whose name alludes to both "novelty" and "news," attained such perfection in the hands of Cervantes that he was called by one of his contemporaries "the Spanish Boccaccio."  Despite the title of his collection, Novelas ejemplares, these narratives are not exemplary: their scenes of rape, seduction, adultery, and witchcraft not only challenged social structures and reigning ideologies, but also constituted daring literary experiments which question the status of fiction.  This course will trace the development of the novella in 16th- and 17th - century Spain, studying a range of short fictions by Miguel de Cervantes, María de Zayas, and other authors.
