Cervantes, the Novel, and the New World
Bok av Diana de Armas Wilson
This book links the rise of the novel in imperial Spain to the birth of America in the European consciousness. Moving beyond an inventory of Cervantes's (1547-1616) references to the Indies - to Mexico, and Peru, cannibals and tobacco, parrots and alligators - this study interprets his novels as a cross-cultural achievement that ridicules the conquistador mentality.
