Abstract

"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."--

Abstract

Miguel de Cervantes conceived his final work, The Labours of Persiles and Sigismunda: A Northern Story (1617), as a great prose epic that would accomplish for its age what Homer and Virgil had done for theirs. And yet, by the eighteenth century Don Quixote had eclipsed Persiles in the favour of readers and writers alike and the later novel is now virtually forgotten except by specialists. This study sets out to help restore Persiles to pride of place within Cervantes's corpus by reading it as the author's summa, as a boldly new kind of prose epic that casts an original light on the major political, religious, social, and literary debates of its era. At the same time it seeks to illuminate how such a lofty and solemn ambition could coexist with Cervantes evident urge to delight. Grounded in the novel's multiple contexts - literature, history and politics, philosophy and theology - and in close reading of the text, Michael Armstrong-Roche aims to reshape our understanding of Persiles within the history of prose fiction and to take part in the ongoing conversation about the relationship between literary and non-literary cultural forms. Ultimately he reveals how Cervantes recast the prose epic, expanding it in new directions to accommodate the great epic themes - politics, love, and religion - to the most urgent concerns of his day.

Abstract

En este Cervantes y los Mares, se encuentra el lector con la magistral narrativa de viajes y marítima que Cervantes desarrolló en su Persiles, terminado poco antes de morir. Encuentra asimismo el estudio de su poesía del mar, el modo como reescribió a la vez la antigua novela bizantina junto con el barroco de su tiempo, las retóricas del amor, las artes de la escena y las visuales. Y todo ello, en la voz de sus habilísimos narradores. Aquí, podrá también ahondar en la presencia de la ciudad de Lisboa y de sus gentes en la obra de Cervantes, en tiempos de Felipe II, cuando Portugal fue parte de la monarquía Española, acercarse a las relaciones entre la Península Ibérica y el Mediterráneo y a la dolorida historia de los Cautivos. Y, por fin, conocer las «tierras de promisión» soñadas por aquellos nuestros antepasados.
