| Summary: | Cervantes the Poet travels from the court of Isabel de Valois to Rome, Naples, Palermo, Algiers and Madrid's barrio de las letras. Recovering Cervantes' nearly forty-year literary career before the publication of Don Quijote, Gabrielle Ponce-Hegenauer demonstrates the cultural, literary and theoretical significance of Cervantes' status as a late-sixteenth- century itinerant poet. This study recovers the generative literary milieus and cultural practices of Spain's most famous novelist in order to posit a new theory of the modern novel as an organic transformation of lyric practices native to the late-sixteenth century and Cervantes' own literary outlook. |
