Verisimilitude, Realism, and Literariness --Epilogue --Notes --Index of AuthorsIn response to the classic question whether Don Quixote is true to life, Felix Martinez-Bonati defines it as an unrealistic allegory of realism. He maintains that Cervantes's novel presents an ironized universe of literature that plays with the contradictions of traditional wisdom and the variety and limitations of literary forms-including those of verisimilitude. Drawing on Aristotle's Poetics, on the idealist and romantic traditions that originate in Kant, Schiller, Schelling, Hegel, and Coleridge, and on contemporary critical theory, Martinez-Bonati describes the stylistic matrix of Don Quixote as a combination of semirealism, romance fantasy, and comedy. He provides fresh insights into the character of Cervantes's imagination, the composition and unity of Don Quixote, and its generic structure, rhetorical force, and metafictional intentionality.FictionHistory and criticismLITERARY CRITICISM / Subjects & Themes / Historical Events bisacshElectronic books.FictionHistory and criticism.LITERARY CRITICISM / Subjects & Themes / Historical Events .863.3Martínez Bonati Félix402411Fox DianMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910467715403321Don Quixote and the poetics of the novel2475778UNINA
