Through a survey of Latin American literature from its origins through the 19th century, students examine the many forms of alternative reality that Latin American writers have created and explored. Students relate those realities to the cultural and sociological history of Latin America as well as to larger Western literary modes, such as the Baroque, Neoclassicism, and Romanticism. Literary texts studied and analyzed are drawn from the pre-Columbian period through 1850. Language Placement Guidelines
