This book, the first study of its kind to adopt a
post-structuralist viewpoint, offers new readings of the major
texts of the Spanish Renaissance, or Golden Age. Beginning with a
comparison of Renaissance and modern theories of discourse, the
main substance of the book appeals to terms borrowed from Jacques
Derrida for the analysis of the three most important genres of the
period: lyric poetry, picaresque narrative, and drama. Authors
discussed include Gongora, Quevedo, Lope de Vega, Calderon, and
Cervantes, the popularity of Don Quijote being attributed to its
(apparent) repression of characteristics common to other Golden Age
texts. In the conclusion it is suggested that Spain itself is the
place of marginality, the supplement to a Europe which cannot admit
it but dare not exclude it. Writing in the Margin is addressed to
all specialists in Spanish literature and in the comparative
literature of the Renaissance. There are translations of the
Spanish quotations.
