Produktbeschreibung

Quixotic Fictions is the first book-length study of the role of Don Quixote in early American literature. Coinciding with the quadricentenary of Don Quixote's first publication, Quixotic Fictions reaffirms the global reach of Cervantes's influence and explores the complex, contradictory ways in which Don Quixote helped to shape American fiction at a formative moment in its development.
