The Picaresque
"Picaresque Tales" - parodic narratives relating the adventures of a rogue - have been central to the development of Spanish literature since the time of Cervantes. This text incorporates poststructuralist theory into a comprehensive treatment of such tales written during the Spainish Golden Age. The essays in this volume examine such works as "Lazarillo de Tormes", "Guzman de Alfarache" and "El buscon". The contributors address the connection between literary representation and everyday life, examining the context in which the Picaresque mode developed.
Forging the Past
Examines how four volumes of invented "truths" about Sp[anish sacred histiory radically transformed the religious landscape in Counter-Reformation Spain. Explores the history, author, and legacy of the Cronicones, alleged to have been unearthed in 1595 and not definitively exposed as forgeries until centuries later.
