This ambitious work aims to utterly change the way Don Quixote and Cervantes' other works are read, particularly the posthumous The Trial of Persiles and Sigismunda. William Childers sets out to free Cervantes' work from its context within the histories of the European national literatures. Instead, he examines early modern Spanish cultural production as an antecedent to contemporary postcolonial literature, especially Latin American fiction of the past half century. In order to construct his new context for reading Cervantes, Childers proceeds in three distinct phases. First, Cervantes' relation to the Western literary canon is reconfigured, detaching him from the realist novel and associating him, instead, with magic realism. Second, Childers provides an innovative reading of The Trial of Persiles and Sigismunda as a transnational romance, exploring cultural boundaries and the hybridization of identities. Finally, Childers explores traces of and similarities to Cervantes in contemporary fiction. Theoretically eclectic and methodologically innovative, Transnational Cervantes opens up many avenues for research and debate, aiming to bring Cervantes' writings forward into the brave new world of our postcolonial age.

Este libro vuelve a la temática inquisitorial con un planteamiento nuevo y a través de fuentes documentales novedosas, desconocidas en muchos casos, para ofrecernos una visión del fenómeno inquisitorial ciertamente inédita.La Inquisición vista desde abajo coloca en el centro del análisis a gente corriente que se vio involucrada en los tribunales. Con ellos, aparecen los ministros de la Inquisición, actuando al pie de calle, ante quienes se presentaron un sinfín de deposiciones, acusaciones o testificaciones sobre asuntos de muy diversa índole. Tras el estudio de una selección de ellas, aparece ante nuestros ojos toda una panoplia de creencias, miedos y prejuicios anidados en las mentalidades y en la cultura popular de aquella época, lo cual nos ayuda a entender el mundo del que procedemos y que nos conforma. Ha sido con este singular enfoque, como los cuatro autores de este libro han realizado su trabajo de investigación, indagando en los ricos fondos documentales que integran los expedientes de testificaciones existentes en los archivos inquisitoriales.

"This collection of original essays presents new ways of looking at Cervantes' final novel. Persiles, a work that engages with geopolitical models of race, ethnicity, nation, and religion, takes its inspiration from the highly influential Ethiopian Story (the Aithiopika) of Heliodorus. With particular relevance to the period, the Persiles questions the issue of cultural pluralism in the Spanish empire and emphasizes the need to rethink the radically altered category of lo bárbaro/the barbarian (which included not only the Jew, the Muslim, and the Gypsy, but also the criollo, the mestizo, and the indiano), a new multiracial and multiethnic reality that posed a profound challenge to early modern Spain. The contributors offer a range of perspectives in spatial theory, psychology and subjectivity, visual culture, and literary theory."--
