Focus is on one of the most pivotal (and understudied) years of Iberian history, marked by the outbreak of both the Catalan Reaper's War and the Portuguese War of Restoration. Through primary sources including official documents, literary texts, and art, students will explore the causes, key events, and consequences of these interrelated conflicts. Of particular interest are the socio-political, cultural, and economic factors driving these uprisings, their impact on the broader European context, and their legacy in shaping modern Catalan and Portuguese nationhood. Authors include Pedro Calderon de la Barca, Alexandre de Ros, Francesc Fontanella, Luis de Gongora, Francisco Manuel de Melo, Francisco Quevedo, Jaume Romeu, Antonio de Saldanha, António de Sousa de Macedo, António Vieira, and Violante do Ceu. Readings in Catalan, English, Portuguese, and Spanish. Taught in English.
