Cervantes's Novel of Modern Times: A New Reading of Don Quijote
Search in google:
"[A] major reinterpretation of Cervantes's great novel. . . . In the most lucid prose, David Quint proposes that the relation of Don Quixote to its own 'modern' times and to the modernity of the novel form itself has been seriously misunderstood."--Maria DiBattista, Princeton University."This book presents a strong new reading of Cervantes. It also implicitly contests Vladimir Nabokov's influential interpretation of Don Quijote as a 'crude' book. Quint's study--with its impeccable scholarship and meticulous demonstrations of interlace--corrects such pretentiously jaunty readings."--Diana de Armas Wilson, University of DenverCarroll B. Johnson - CervantesThis important new book . . . offers multitudes of insights. . . . David Quint . . . has made a valuable contribution to the study of the novel.
