描述
What do the Exemplary Novels mean or represent today? Twenty first-century readers might find the volume just entertaining, 或奇怪的, but a close reading of this collection of short stories illuminates the depth of an experimental literary process that opens a window to Cervantes´ preoccupations and participation with his fictional works in some of the most hotly social debates of his time. This course explores literary representations of social, political and religious issues in Cervantes´ Exemplary Novels. We will look at this collection of short stories to analyze the relationship between literary fiction and its historic and cultural determinations. Also this approach will allow us to reflect on topics from Cervantes´ time that are still relevant in debates in contemporary 西班牙.
In 1613 Cervantes publishes in 西班牙 the Exemplary Novels. The volume is a collection of twelve brilliant and sophisticated short stories that comes out a few years after Cervantes´ suddenly acquired fame. In his book the author of Don Quixote explores literary techniques and displays a myriad of topics and characters from his contemporary life: crime in cities, 贫困, prostitution and public health, 政府腐败, 吉普赛的社区, pirates and delinquency on the sea, 宗教的紧张局势, madness and social alienation, 等.
Cervantes lives and writes during one of the richest and most remarkable periods of Spanish literature, but also under the decline of the Spanish Empire. The author of Don Quixote explores some of the main problems that affect a society that lives and struggles to survive under the monarchy of the Habsburg. The city is a common scenario in his stories: 马德里, 巴利亚多利德, 萨拉曼卡, and specially 塞维利亚 and the Andalusia region where Cervantes spent a great amount of time.
