Fifteenth-century Spanish sentimental fiction can be described as a
palimpsest, a dense web of entangled, faded readings and a
challenge to the reader. While the parameters of writing
sentimental fiction and its textuality have been explored with
great success, its readers and how they approached these works have
been largely neglected.
Based on a reconstruction of the medical notion of
love-as-sickness ("amor heroes"), premodern reading habits, and
interpretive strategies, this book approaches canonical works of
sentimental romance from the perspective of a medical-sensitive
reader. An analysis of "Don Quijote" silhouetted against the
subtext of sentimental romance reveals how faculty psychology and
lovesickness resonate in Golden Age literature.
