Examines the importance of intertextuality, in particular
hypertextuality, in the poetics of Castilian romances of chivalry.
Runner-up for the 2015 Publication Prize awarded by the Association
of Hispanists of Great Britain and Ireland and the Spanish Embassy
Castilian romances of chivalry were the dominant form of fiction in
Europe during the peak of the Spanish Empire in the the sixteenth
century. Whilst the material traits of chivalric romances have been
thoroughly studied, Don Quijote's shadow has often resulted in the
neglect of the literary aspects and influence of the genre, thus
hindering our understanding of Golden Age and Spanish fiction.
Conversely, this book examines the literary transformation of the
genre throughout the sixteenth century from the perspective of
intertextuality. In particular, this book focuses on the literary
practices central to the craft and development of the genre: the
rewriting of previous romance, the writing of sequels, and the
formation of narrative cycles. These three processes defined the
poetics of the genre and set the bases and literary techniques for
other fictional genres and works, including Don Quijote itself.
Daniel Gutierrez Trapaga is Associate Professor in Research
