Aims of the module
After charting the emergence of a Romantic sensibility in Spain (Cadalso, Goya, Melendez, Quintana), the module focuses on
the movement's brief success in Espronceda (Rivas and Larra) and its more meaningful if belated triumphs in Becquer and
Rosalia.
Jose de Espronceda, Poesias completas; Gustavo Adolfo Becquer, Rimas y leyendas; Rosalia de Castro, En las orillas
del Sar.
Learning outcomes
Students will have a good grasp of what went into the flowering of Romanticism in Spain, with a grounding in the events and works of the period of the Peninsular War and a closer study of the more significant achioevements by major poets later in the nineteenth century.
