Book Description
This book tells the story of how Flaubert's admiration for Cervantes'Don Quijote;unfolded, and how profoundly it shaped and influenced Flaubert's ambition and his approach to all his major works, beginning with his breakthrough novelMadame Bovary;. It thus fills a major gap in the history of the novel and explores, for the first time, just what Flaubert meant when he said, while writingBovary; "Je retrouve toutes mes origins dans le livre que je savais par coeur avant de savoir lire, Don Quichotte;"(I can trace all my origins back to the book I knew by heart). Several cultural and personal factors converged to establish the prominent place ofDon Quijote;in Flaubert's imagination, and these are dealt with in depth in the book. But it is the profound parallels between the two novels that clearly illustrate howDon Quijote;permeatesMadame Bovary;in both subject and approach. One such parallel is Alonso Quijano and Emma Bovary's desire to imitate fiction, which reflects a kind of literary madness in which the attempt to impose the narrative conventions of romances on life only leads hero and heroine, respectively, to destruction, disappointment, and ultimately death. The borrowings and the transpositions are substantial and endless; and indeed the influence did not stop atBovary;, for Flaubert's latergrands romans;, including the rewrittenEducation Sentimentale;andBouvard et Pcuchet;, also display thequixotic;hallmark. This study situates each author in his respective historical and aesthetic context, and provides key examples fromDon Quijote;andMadame Bovary;, Flaubert'sCorrespondence;, as well as his earlier novels. Flaubert's letters and novels show how the French author penetrated deeply into Cervantes'novelistic approach and how his relationship toDon Quijote;directly shaped his success at the crux of his career.

Don Quixote
Author: Slav N. Gratchev
Publisher: Bucknell University Press
ISBN: 1611488583
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 309
Book Description
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.

"Diana de Armas Wilson's introductory study captures the true essence of why Cervantes's novel has become a valuable piece of our shared cultural heritage. Humour, satire, and the religious and political conflicts that plagued the era all form part of Cervantes's great vision, and Wilson's study provides thorough analysis of why we still want to read the adventures of his would-be knight errant and his loyal squire over four centuries later." --AARON KAHN, University of Sussex

Quixote: The Novel and the World
Author: Ilan Stavans
Publisher: W. W. Norton & Company
ISBN: 0393248380
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 202
Book Description
A groundbreaking cultural history of the most influential, most frequently translated, and most imitated novel in the world. The year 2015 marks the four hundredth anniversary of the publication of the complete Don Quixote of La Mancha—an ageless masterpiece that has proven unusually fertile and endlessly adaptable. Flaubert was inspired to turn Emma Bovary into “a knight in skirts.” Freud studied Quixote’s psyche. Mark Twain was fascinated by it, as were Kafka, Picasso, Nabokov, Borges, and Orson Welles. The novel has spawned ballets and operas, poems and plays, movies and video games, and even shapes the identities of entire nations. Spain uses it as a sort of constitution and travel guide; and the Americas were conquered, then sought their independence, with the knight as a role model. In Quixote, Ilan Stavans, one of today’s preeminent cultural commentators, explores these many manifestations. Training his eye on the tumultuous struggle between logic and dreams, he reveals the ways in which a work of literature is a living thing that influences and is influenced by the world around it.
