(syllabus)
The model of chivalric narratives in seventeenth-century Spanish literature.
The program aims to examine Cervantes' Quijote and three plays by Calderón which rework some aspects of the chivalric model parodied in the Quijote. We will then study the links that Cervantes' narrative establishes with the theater, and the specific ways in which, according to the different dramatic genres, Calderón uses some elements of the chivalric genre in his theater.
The course has two fundamental objectives:
- application of the concepts of analysis of the narrative text already learned in the second year of the course to a novel that founds the Spanish and European narrative tradition, and has many interesting peculiarities;
- introduction to the methodologies of analysis of the dramatic text: basic concepts, concrete application on the texts included in the syllabus.
The knowledge and in-depth understanding of such texts, which will arise from the analysis and guided reading activities, will be related to the literary context of the 16th-17th centuries.
