Select Condition 
Book Overview
Appropriate for a one or two semester survey course at the fifth semester or beyond-ideal for majors, minors, and even non-majors, Milenio provides a survey of Spanish literature from its origins to the present. Most selections are excerpts from longer works, although all function as independent units. Milenio features a number of complete stories, essays, poems and one-act plays. Selections are ample enough to give students an idea of the author's writing, yet short enough to be treated in one or two class periods. Milenio provides enough selections to allow instructors to pick and choose according to their own preferences. Female authors include: Teresa de vila, Ana Caro, Mar a de Zayas, Carmen Laforet, Ana Mar a Matute, Soledad Pu rtolas, and Rosa Montero. In addition, Milenio contains Spanish works by regional writers such as Pere Gimferrer and Jon Juaristi. Milenio includes many tools that enable the student to read the selections with minimal difficulty. Each selection is followed by a list of Temas or review questions.

Great resource for literary history of Spanish literature
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
As a Spanish literature graduate student, it was a struggle to find a book that was not only concise and clear but also one that contained the latest critical theory and critique on the most important works in Spanish literary history. With "Milenio", Mujica not only created this but so much more. The construction of the text goes as follows: 1.In each important period she gives a succint historical background about what is going on in the Spanish peninsula at that time 2. biographical information about the writer, including some summaries of her/his work and critiques 3. a sample of the author's major work, like poetry, acts of a play or excerpts of a book etc 4. analytical questions to help process the literary work 5. The book also has a glossary of important terms like mester de juglaria, humanismo etc This text is an awesome supplement if you are familiar with peninsular literature but need to brush up on some authors or historical/literary movements of the time period. I highly recommend this as a must have!
