The collection supports WSUC and GSAS programs in Spanish, Portuguese and Latin American literatures, languages, and civilization through the doctoral level.
Emphasis is on literature and language.
Civilization is interpreted here as including broader cultural works affecting the study of literature. Library materials for the NYU in Spain program are provided by the Department. The collection consists principally of literary texts and criticism in Spanish, Portuguese and English. Early literature of Spain and Portugal in Galician and Catalan is also acquired. Critical works in French, Italian, and German, and literary texts in English translation are acquired regularly.
