2. Casona, Alejandro. Flor de Leyendas. Any edition.
3. Spanish - English Dictionary. It is highly recommended that all students invest in a nice dictionary, especially if you are a Spanish Major or Minor. I recommend either the University of Chicago Dictionary or the Velazquez Dictionary. (Online dictionaries are are often inadequate and of course not helpful when you are not near a computer!)

The periods of Iberian and Latin American Literature are presented, giving students a historical context for their studies.
