Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Los trabajos de Persiles y Sigismunda, Historia setentrional, publiée en 1617, est une œuvre qui fut longtemps éclipsée par d'autres écrits de Cervantes : l'ingénieux hidalgo de la Manche, dont la deuxième partie des aventures avait vu le jour en 1615, assurait, en effet, à lui seul l'universelle renommée de l'auteur. Il serait pourtant injuste de négliger ce roman sur lequel Cervantes fondait de grandes espérances, qui fut bien accueilli par le public lors de sa parution, puis pâtit de l'extraordinaire succès du Quichotte. L'examen de la production critique moderne concernant le Persiles prouve cependant le remarquable regain d'intérêt qu'il suscite à notre époque, où se multiplient, depuis une trentaine d'années déjà, les éditions de l'œuvre et les études savantes qui éclairent d'un jour nouveau un écrit que l'on estime - enfin ! - digne de beaucoup d'attention. Le Persiles doit être examiné à la lumière de l'ensemble de la production littéraire de Cervantes. C'est pourquoi l'on retrouvera, dans l'équipe de spécialistes universitaires qui a participé à l'élaboration du présent ouvrage collectif, plusieurs noms qui ont déjà contribué au succès de la précédente étude sur le Quichotte publiée en 2001 par les Éditions du temps. De nouveaux auteurs, fins connaisseurs de l'œuvre, ont rejoint le groupe pour enrichir la réflexion et ouvrir de nouvelles perspectives, car le but de cet ouvrage est, tout en permettant un nécessaire état des lieux, de tracer des pistes, de suggérer des orientations, d'aider de jeunes chercheurs universitaires et d'inciter le public curieux à mieux apprécier une œuvre trop longtemps restée dans l'ombre. Souhaitons que cet ouvrage collectif permette d'intéressants progrès dans la connaissance de l'œuvre du génial Cervantes.

Download or read book Cervantes Epic Novel written by Michael Armstrong-Roche and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2009-05-08 with total page 425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Miguel de Cervantes conceived his final work, The Labours of Persiles and Sigismunda: A Northern Story (1617), as a great prose epic that would accomplish for its age what Homer and Virgil had done for theirs. And yet, by the eighteenth century Don Quixote had eclipsed Persiles in the favour of readers and writers alike and the later novel is now virtually forgotten except by specialists. This study sets out to help restore Persiles to pride of place within Cervantes's corpus by reading it as the author's summa, as a boldly new kind of prose epic that casts an original light on the major political, religious, social, and literary debates of its era. At the same time it seeks to illuminate how such a lofty and solemn ambition could coexist with Cervantes evident urge to delight. Grounded in the novel's multiple contexts - literature, history and politics, philosophy and theology - and in close reading of the text, Michael Armstrong-Roche aims to reshape our understanding of Persiles within the history of prose fiction and to take part in the ongoing conversation about the relationship between literary and non-literary cultural forms. Ultimately he reveals how Cervantes recast the prose epic, expanding it in new directions to accommodate the great epic themes - politics, love, and religion - to the most urgent concerns of his day.

Download or read book Cervantes and His Postmodern Constituencies written by Anne J. Cruz and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-10-24 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays in this collection represent the first effort in Hispanism to address the conflicted status of Cervantes studies by interrogating the possibility of continued critical dialogue in the context of postmodern theories that threaten to divide into oppositional discourses. Comprising broad historical overviews as well as close readings of texts, and wielding the rhetoric of scientific detachment and of impassioned political commitments, the essays at once exemplify and critique multiple critical positions. The collection takes a meaningful and timely look at the formation of cervantismo from the early twentieth century to the prevailing debates on postmodernism and the current crisis of literary studies.

Download or read book The Emblematics of the Self written by Elizabeth B. Bearden and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2012 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ancient Greek romances of Achilles Tatius and Heliodorus were widely imitated by early modern writers such as Miguel de Cervantes, Philip Sidney, and Mary Wroth. Like their Greek models, Renaissance romances used ekphrasis, or verbal descriptions of visual representation, as a tool for characterization. The Emblematics of the Self shows how the women, foreigners, and non-Christians of these tales reveal their identities and desires in their responses to the 'verbal pictures' of romance. Elizabeth B. Bearden illuminates how 'verbal pictures' enliven characterization in English, Spanish, and Neolatin romances from 1552 to 1621. She notes the capacity for change among characters -- such as cross-dressed Amazons, shepherdish princesses, and white Mauritanians -- who traverse transnational cultural and aesthetic environments. Engaging and rigorous, The Emblematics of the Self breaks new ground in understanding hegemonic and cosmopolitan European conceptions of the 'other, ' as well as new possibilities for early modern identities, in an increasingly global Renaissance.
