Modern Spanish novel through the prism of literary continuation. It
identifies and examines the Golden Age narratives that invented the
sequel and the narrative genres that the sequel in turn invented.
This book proposes a new way of tracing the history of the Early
Modern Spanish novel through the prism of literary continuation. It
identifies and examines the Golden Age narratives that invented the
sequel and the narrative genres that the sequel in turn invented.
The author explores the rivalries between apocryphal and authorized
sequelists that forged modern notions of authorship and authorial
property. The book also defines the sequel's forms and functions,
filling a major gap in literary theory in general and Peninsular
literary studies in particular. Notably, the author demonstrates
that the sequel develops first and foremost in Early Modern Spain,
an unacknowledged and unexamined contribution to Western letters.
With its panoramic scope, this study serves as an introduction to
the central novelistic genres and texts of Early Modern Spain. From
this foundational starting point, it alsooffers a general framework
for understanding imaginative expansion in subsequent time periods
and literary traditions. William H. Hinrichs is a founding faculty
member and Assistant Professor of Modern Languages at Bard High
School Early College, Queens.
