P501 Literature of the Portuguese-Speaking World II
TR 1:00p – 2:15p/section# 27094/3 cr./BH 238
The second semester of a two-semester survey on the literatures of
the Portuguese-speaking world. In this course, we will examine the
concept of “Realism” – its adoption, transformation, and rejection –
by late nineteenth and twentieth-century Lusophone authors. We will
read prose, poetry, and essays from Lusophone Africa, Brazil, and
Portugal.
All students will write a midterm and final exam. Undergraduate
students will write a short paper (6-8pp) and graduate students will
write a longer research paper (10-12pp) on a topic to be approved by
the instructor.
Course meets jointly with Hisp P401 & P498.
