Abstract

In this article will be addressed the suitability, from a methodological point of view and due to its significant success, of using the book “How to comment a literary text”, by Fernando Lázaro Carreter and Evaristo Correa Calderón, as a basic manual for the acquisition of literary skills in different subjects, such as “Analysis and comment on literary texts”, “Examples of prose and poetry” and “Spanish literature I, II and III”, that are being taught at Iranian universities in the Spanish Language degree studies. And also, taking into account the major significance it has acquired, thanks to its methodological excellence, in the secondary and university education, both in Spain and in Hispanic America, where it is included as a main bibliographical reference in the literature studies of diverse eras, authors and specific literary movements and, undoubtedly, in analyzing and commenting literary texts.
