- This 175,000-word monograph is an original intervention in the history of reading. It advances a new theory of ‘removed’ reading, whereby one text (the chivalric romance Amadis de Gaule) is encountered through another (Cervantes’s Don Quixote). It ranges across five centuries (16th-20th) and three languages (English, French and Spanish), addressing numerous texts and contexts, and drawing on substantial country-specific historical as well as literary and cultural detail. The research has also required full command of the complex and substantial critical reception of Don Quixote, and the broad field of the history of the novel across multiple literary periods and cultures.
