SPA 354 - Vamps and Virgins: Sex in the (Medieval) City

Three Credits
Not Offered 2017-2018

A close reading of early Spanish texts with emphasis on representations of spiritual and illicit love. We will explore the origins, development, and characteristics of the sentimental romance, an innovative medieval genre, and how it was later parodied in La Celestina. Attention will be paid to the socio-cultural context in which these texts were produced. 

Prerequisite(s)/Restriction(s): SPA 332  or higher.
