Course description and objectives: This course has four principal objectives: 1) to introduce beginning students of literature to fundamental concepts of literary study (e.g. genre, epochal style) and textual analysis; 2) to familiarize students with the principal periods of the history of literature in Brazil; 3) to appreciate Brazilian writers in national and international contexts; and 4) to compare the development of literature in Brazil with that of Portugal and other European models. The course further strives to improve language skills through directed reading, organized writing, use of media, and discussion. Interdisciplinary appreciations of literature are welcome.
