Law and history in Cervantes' Don Quixote / Susan Byrne. - 1 online resource (xiv, 240 pages) - Toronto Iberic ; 3 . - Toronto Iberic ; 3. .
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Introduction: Cervantes' Quixotic mos Hispanicus -- History, jurisprudence, and the creation of the novel -- Giovio, Baeza, history, and law in Cervantes' works -- Jurisprudence in Spain, seventh to sixteenth centuries -- Laws broken, glossed, and made: Don Quixote -- Laws broken, glossed, and made: Sancho Panza et al. -- History and historiography in the Quixote -- Cervantes' mos Hispanicus: considerations and conclusions.
"Law and History in Cervantes' Don Quixote is a deep consideration of the intellectual environment that gave rise to Cervantes' seminal work. Susan Byrne demonstrates how Cervantes synthesized the debates surrounding the two most authoritative discourses of his era - those of law and history - into a new aesthetic product, the modern novel. Byrne uncovers the empirical underpinnings of Don Quixote through a close philological study of Cervantes' sly questioning of and commentary on these fields. As she skilfully demonstrates, while sixteenth-century historiographers and jurists across southern Europe sought the philosophical nexus of their fields, Cervantes created one through the adventures of a protagonist whose history is all about justice. As such, Law and History in Cervantes' Don Quixote illustrates how Cervantes' art highlighted the inconsistencies of juridical-historical texts and practice, as well as anticipated the ultimate resolution of their paradoxes."--
