Reference Materials Literary Movements Major Home Pages for AP Spanish Authors Analyzing Literary Texts Your students will need to learn how to analyze literary texts and even familiarize themselves with some literary theory. Comentario de Textos Literarios José Segura's site includes a model for the "Comentarario de texto" of a poem, which is a thorough analysis of its formal features. In the process he provides an amazing and thorough introduction to Spanish prosody and rhetorical terms. This site is a "must" for the teaching and analysis of poetry! Comentario de Textos Literarios Guía didáctica para interpretar y comentar los textos literarios Santillana Publishers has a guide for analyzing poems, novels, and plays that is quite useful. Guía didáctica para interpretar y comentar los textos literarios El Comentario de texto Cenlit Web also uses the "comentario" technique and applies it to a romance, but on a much less ambitious scale than Segura. El Comentario de texto Comentario de textos literarios This site provides explications of two prose works on the AP list: the selections from Juan Manuel and Larra. Comentario de Textos Literarios Introducción a la Literatura This site has a good, no nonsense introduction in Spanish to the study of literary texts and the individual genres. It appears in the form of a monograph, so don't be disappointed by its lack of design. Introducción a la Literatura Literary texts can be interpreted from a number of critical perspectives, each with its own theoretical foundations. For instance, reception theory is concerned with the way works were received by their intended audience, while semiotics studies signs and codes, their interaction in the work and how these are affected by their cultural, social, or historical context. It's a good idea to be familiar with a number of critical approaches, for different works require different critical apparatuses to uncover their meaning. Modern Literary Theory Professor Kristi Siegel describes in simple language the various contemporary schools of literary theory. Modern Literary Theory Teoría literaria José Segura's page contains an introduction to the various genres and literary theories. Here you can learn how to analyze poetry, prose fiction, and theater using contemporary critical methods. Teoría literaria Literary and Cultural Theory Oxford University's site will educate you through its numerous links on the various schools of critical inquiry.
