Reviews
“By approaching the reading of Don Quixote from a diversity of perspectives, the book manages to give the reader a sense of the interpretive richness held in Cervantes’ work. The multifaceted readings collected in this book, while aware of past scholarship on the subject, open up a dialogue that shows the continuous and equally fruitful readings and misreadings of the novel into the twenty-first century.” - Professor Ramon Figuera, Department of Modern Languages, Millsaps College
“The multi-disciplinary approach of this collection makes it a valuable contribution to the studies of Don Quixote. The reader will find a wide array of information ranging from Cervantes’ role in the genealogy of ideas, his ascendancy in German romanticism and literary theories, to how the image of Don Quixote has influenced the mise-en-scène of Wasserman’s musical, The Man of La Mancha.” - Dr. Angel Sánchez, Associate Professor, Department of Languages and Literatures, Arizona State University
"To say the result is lively is an understatement." - SciTech Book News
