Azulejo: Study Guide for the New Ap* Spanish Literature Course (Spanish and English Edition)

Designed to assist in the preparation for the Advanced Placement Spanish Literature Exam, this text provides students with the opportunity not only to enjoy a wide array of some of the best Spanish literary works, but also to gain insight into the historical and cultural background of Spain and Latin America. The text begins each period with a necessarily brief historical and literary movement introduction, a rapid presentation of the period's trends and cultural norms, followed by sketches of the intellectual development and literary environment of the authors. Explanations of the author's themes, analysis questions, AP type essay topics, suggestions for discussions and numerous related activities, and unabridged versions of all the poetry and prose texts from the Middle Ages to the beginning of the 20th century are included as well.
