The author traces the resurgence of Don Quixote in the contemporary
humanities. In the aftermath of World War II, the figure underwent
the most radical re-interpretation since Romanticism. These changes
speak volumes about our culture. Drawing on the theoretical
framework of the specifically Polish variety of cultural studies,
this book makes Don Quixote a patron of cultural reflection. With
culture conceptualised as performative, Quixotism is "the
cultivation of the soul," an axiotic space which forms human ways
of life across epochs. In this way, the history of culture can be
re-written as a history of values frenzy, bibliomania or evil.
