Course Description
From the CTY Course Catalog (2009):
Perhaps the most important event in modern Spanish history, the Spanish Civil War led to the installation of a decades-long fascist regime and ignited political and artistic passions whose influence reached far beyond Spain’s borders. In this course, students explore the war through a variety of cultural texts, including Picasso’s Guernica, Dali’s Soft Construction with Boiled Beans (Premonition of Civil War), Orwell’s Homage to Catalonia, and selected poetry by Miguel Hernandez, Rafael Alberti, Federico Garcia Lorca, Pablo Neruda, and Cesar Vallejo.
