I'm now learning for my final exam from Spanish literature, so I'll try to sumarize some information on some of the topics I'm studying. Because there is currently no list of Spanish literature, I'm adding the links to these pages here. Anyone is highly encouraged to explore the listed topics more, add and correct infomation.
It'd be wonderful if someone more knowledgeable than me could fill this overview page with some nice article.
[edit] Definition of scope
Spanish meaning "of Spain" or Spanish meaning "Spanish language"? If the former, remove the link to the LatAm boom; if the latter, there's loads more articles we could link to, but it'd need some sort of (by country?) structuring. –Hajor 19:29, 18 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- I think the most reasonable is to think of it as "Spanish language" literature, since it really is one culture and there are links inside it. However, I have never meant this page to be just a list of authors and geners. Instead, I was writing a few articles and I thought it would be nice to have an overview of what's available here on the Wiki. I think the goal now is to make this page into a full article talking about Spanish language literature from the beginning in Spain and then about the split between Spanish and Latin american literature. Before somebody jumps into this, I think it's good to collect links to other Wikipedia articles and try to sort them according to the period and the literary current, so that the one who finally writes an overview has a simpler task. But the final goal really should be an article, not a list, I think. (I don't think structuring by country is a good idea, I think structuring by time and geners -- the literary developement -- would be much better for the ultimate task of making some overview article.)

I think the bg: link isn't appropriate, as there the literature of Spain is meant. Andres 16:28, 21 Nov 2004 (UTC)
I think this page could probably use some cleanup, or a project of some sort; also, where might information on the Golden Age of Spanish literature go? I recently added stubs for Lope de Rueda and Felix Lope de Vega. [[User:Rhymeless|Rhymeless | (Methyl Remiss)]] 08:53, 29 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Such information should go to the Siglo de Oro article, since this is the Spanish term for what you call the Golden Age of Spanish literature (two centuries, actually ;). --hhanke 22:45, 14 Nov 2004 (UTC)
"The Spaniards are particularly averse to borrowing from the intellectual treasures of other nations. They glean the field of their own muses to the very last ear, and then commence the same labour over again."
- What does this mean? Is this POV? I have never heard such a thing before but I am not an expert in Spanish literature.
I would split the article into "Spanish literature" and "literature in Spanish-speaking countries" or something along those lines.

That is the way I have been taught literature at school.

- I am a Spanish education major and have taken courses on the literature of Spain, which I agree is what is meant by Spanish literature. Literature from Spanish-speaking countries should surely be its own page. I will attempt sectionalizing the authors that are on the page according to the history of Spain and as a Spanish speaker, I will look at the great format of some of the pages in Spanish on this topic. Please comment on what you see.Troy385 22:20, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Reducing list of works of Lorca
There's no need of giving here such long listing of Federico García Lorca's works, I think it's just enough with the most important ones. If somebody wants to know the full list, they can get it in the article dedicated to Federico García Lorca. So I'm reducing the list of works of Lorca to the most relevant ones. --Anna Lincoln 09:40, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
