This book is a unique scholarly attempt to examine Don Quixote from
multiple angles to see how the re-accentuation of the world's
greatest literary hero takes place in film, theatre, and
literature. To accomplish this task, eighteen scholars from the
USA, Canada, Spain, and Great Britain have come together, and each
of them has brought his/her unique perspective to the subject. For
the first time, Don Quixote is discussed from the point of
re-accentuation, i.e. having in mind one of the key Bakhtinian
concepts that will serve as a theoretical framework. A primary
objective was therefore to articulate, relying on the concept of
re-accentuation, that the history of the novel has benefited
enormously from the re-accentuation of Don Quixote helping us to
shape countless iconic novels from the eighteenth century, and to
see how Cervantes's title character has been reinterpreted to suit
the needs of a variety of cultures across time and space.
