Università Roma Tre

The syllabus is structured around four works of narrative and theatre from Spanish literature of the 16th and 17th centuries that elaborate on the themes of marginality, crime and justice. These texts will allow us to follow a twofold path: on the one hand, to get to know some aspects related to the handling of crime and marginality that characterised Spanish society in these two centuries; on the other, to begin to familiarise ourselves with the literary (narrative, theatrical) specificity of these texts, which still today are among the best known in Spanish literature of the 'classic' age.

N.B. Students with a surname beginning with a letter between A and L (=channel A-L) will take the course with Prof. F. Antonucci in the FIRST SEMESTER. M-Z students will take the course with Prof. Pezzini in the SECOND SEMESTER. The course is also open to students from L12 and other degree programmes.
