Università Roma Tre

The program will link Cervantes' Quijote with some canonical works of 19th to the 21st century Spanish fiction, for which it is obviously a model.
The course has two fundamental objectives:
- introduction to the methodologies of narrative text analysis: basic concepts, concrete application on the texts in the program;
- reading and analysis (linguistic, cultural, narratological) of the texts in the program, also in relation to their literary context (for this reason, knowledge of literary history will be integrated with the ability to analyze and interpret the texts).
