This seminar will be dedicated to an examination of the first part of Miguel de Cervantes' monumental work El ingenioso hidalgo Don Quijote de la Mancha. Our close-reading of the text will be supported by an examination of a variety of literary, critical, and historical aspects that will lead us to understanding the novel in its context, as well as leading us to a consideration of its significance as a timeless and outstanding piece of world literature.
Designed with and approved by a supervising SPAN faculty member, the honors thesis allows students to pursue additional study and research in world languages, cultures and literatures. Students work under the supervision of an individual thesis director. A public presentation in Spanish is required. Conducted in Spanish.
