This course research guide is designed to support Spanish 135W.2 - a writing-intensive course for Spanish majors only. The theme of this section is illustrated 19th and 20th-century literature in Spain which will begin with Galdós, who believed his Episodios Nacionales (1873-1879) were finally “complete” when the second edition was published with the addition of approximately sixty illustrations per novel, penned by fourteen different artists. Students will be expected to read fifty to seventy-five pages a week of different illustrated works by authors, who, like Galdós, were exploring ways of increasing their expressive possibilities through an “alliance” with the visual medium of drawing, ultimately upstaged by its trendier technological cousins, film and photography.
