{"product_id":"tilting-at-tradition-9789042037090","title":"Tilting at Tradition","description":"\u003ci\u003eDon Quijote\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eLe Berger extravagant\u003c\/i\u003e criticize fiction but come in the shape of novels. Far from breaking with their respective traditions, they engage with the chivalric and the pastoral in a creative manner. Genre and imitation are key notions for situating these novels in literary history and in the œuvres of Cervantes and Sorel. With emphasis on the continuity of each writer’s approach, \u003ci\u003eLe Berger extravagant\u003c\/i\u003e is considered in the context of Sorel’s aim to educate readers and avoid romance stereotypes, while the \u003ci\u003eQuijote\u003c\/i\u003e is read as an individual take on the chivalric novel, rejecting the Spanish tradition in favor of the ironic Italian \u003ci\u003eromanzo cavalleresco\u003c\/i\u003e. Like Cervantes’ \u003ci\u003eGalatea\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003ePersiles\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eDon Quijote\u003c\/i\u003e reflects a specific tradition which in turn serves to illuminate the famous book. This study offers interpretations of the two novels, but extends its scope toward the authors’ other works and additional contemporary sources including Avellaneda’s 1614 continuation of \u003ci\u003eDon Quijote\u003c\/i\u003e.","brand":"Daniel Syrovy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48542613668091,"sku":"9789042037090","price":122.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/CoreSourceHub_e1b779be-0242-4a37-b03f-ac5ca9a1f545.jpg?v=1774138148","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/tilting-at-tradition-9789042037090","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
