Books by Kelly Comfort

This advanced Spanish textbook and Latin American literature anthology guides students through the critical analysis of fourteen literary and filmic texts published between 1889 and 1995. It introduces them to twentieth-century Latin American literature and culture, and builds their textual analysis skills through examining the theme of identity.

Art for art's sake addresses the relationship between art and life. Although it has long been argued that aestheticism aims to de-humanize art, this volume seeks to consider the counterclaim that such de-humanization can also lead to re-humanization and to a deepened relationship between the aesthetic sphere and the world at large.
