The Moor and the Novel engages music, literature, and history from
the early modern period to reveal fundamental connections between
nationalist violence, religious identity, and the origins of the
novel. Through fresh interpretations of ballads, histories, and
novellas, this book argues that the expulsion of Muslims from Spain
produced a cultural vacuum, one that demanded a response.
Juxtaposing close readings of well-known and obscure texts, this
book illuminates the literary consequences of ethnic cleansing.
Expulsion not only transformed the population of Iberia, it also
altered early modern notions of the self and of authorship while
creating a space for new kinds of narrative strategies. The absent
Muslim created a physical, historic, and artistic aperture that was
addressed in new literary forms, including Cervantes's Don Quijote.
Nuanced and insightful, The Moor and the Novel provides an
essential genealogy for understanding early modern narrative.
