Don Quixote Explained focuses on seven topics: how Sancho Panza
refines into a good governor through a series of jokes that turn
earnest; how Cervantes satirizes religious extremism in Don Quixote
by taking aim at the Holy Roman Catholic Church; how Don Quixote
and Sancho Panza check-and-balance one another's excesses by having
opposite identities; how Cervantes refines Spanish farm girls by
transforming Aldonza Lorenzo into Dulcinea; how outlaws like Roque
Guinart and Gines Pasamonte can avoid criminality and why; how
Cervantes establishes inter-religional harmony by having a
Christian translator, on the one hand, and a Muslim narrator, on
the other; and lastly, how Cervantes replaces a medieval view of
love and marriage where a woman is a housekeeper, lust-satisfier,
and child begetter with a modern view of equalitarian marriage
typified by a joining of desires and a merger of personalities. "AN

CRITIQUE. BUY IT AND STUDY IT. GERALD J. DAVIS, AUTHOR OF DON
