LST 535 - The Spanish Civil War in History and the Arts

The Spanish Civil War of the 1930s was a watershed in both world history and the history of the arts. We will examine the struggle as the great rehearsal for World War II, as the Last Great Cause of the political Thirties, and as a major testing for committed artists, among them Hemingway, H. W. Auden, Langston Hughes, Andre Malraux, Jean Paul Sartre, Martha Graham, and Pablo Picasso.
