Course Description:

The course will help students read through Part II of Don Quijote de la Mancha by providing historical, geographical, artistic, and critical background while maintaining focus on the major themes such as reality/fiction, perspectivism/ambiguity and deception/enlightenment. Other topics will be race relations in Renaissance Spain, the role of women, and the attitude of society towards sexual issues. Parallels between Don Quijote and the Bible, as well as other works of literature, will be noted. It is hoped that the student will want to read Don Quijote de la Mancha all over again.
