Thomas Hart examines Erich Auerbach's contention that Don Quixote
is not a tragedy but a comedy and suggests that Auerbach's view was
shaped by his reading of Ariosto's chivalric romance Orlando
furioso. At the same time Hart argues that neither Don Quixote nor
Orlando furioso is so free from political intention as Auerbach
believed they were. He demonstrates that Cervantes shared not only
Ariosto's attachment to the moral code of chivalry but also his
doubts that it could be practiced effectively in the contemporary
world. Originally published in 1989. The Princeton Legacy Library
uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available
previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of
Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original
texts of these important books while presenting them in durable
paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy
Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage
found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University
Press since its founding in 1905.
