Miguel de Cervantes's experimentation with theatricality is
frequently tied to the notion of revelation and disclosure of
hidden truths. Drawing the Curtain showcases the elements of
theatricality that characterize Cervantes's prose and analyses the
ways in which he uses theatricality in his own literary production.
Bringing together the works of well-known scholars, who draw from a
variety of disciplines and theoretical approaches, this collection
demonstrates how Cervantes exploits revelation and disclosure to
create dynamic dramatic moments that surprise and engage observers
and readers. Hewing closely to Peter Brook's notion of the bare or
empty stage, Esther Fernandez and Adrienne L. Martin argue that
Cervantes's omnipresent concern with theatricality manifests not
only in his drama but also in the myriad metatheatrical instances
dispersed throughout his prose works. In doing so, Drawing the
Curtain sheds light on the ways in which Cervantes forces his
readers to engage with themes that are central to his life and
works, including love, freedom, truth, confinement, and otherness.
