It deals with pre-Columbian Aztec and Mayan writing, poetry from the colonial and independence periods, and nineteenth century romanticism, but will emphasize twentieth century literature as it evolves through Modernismo (1888-1912), Postmodernismo (1912-1918), Vanguardismo (1918-1938), and Postvanguardismo (1940s-1970s): Sor Juana Inez de la Cruz, Nervo, Velarde, Reyes, Pellicer, Paz, Castellanos, Sabines, and Pacheco, among other poets. The prose fiction section will begin with Azuela’s 1915 novel of the revolution, but will focus on post-1940s writers: Rulfo, Arreola, Fuentes, and Paz. Contemporary poets and writers (1970s-present) will complete the course.
