More than a theme, memory is a system of understanding in Cervantes’s world, resulting from the major social, religious, and economic changes that epitomized Renaissance humanist culture and that informed the transition to modernity.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eQuixotic Memories \u003c\/i\u003eoffers insight into the plurality and complexity of memory and demonstrates how it plays an exceptionally critical role in Cervantes’s \u003ci\u003eDon Quixote\u003c\/i\u003e. It acknowledges Cervantes’s transition into modernity as he engaged with theories of memory that were developed in classical antiquity and adapted to the specific circumstances of his own time. Julia Domínguez explores the many spaces that memory created for itself in early modern Spain, particularly in the fields of philosophy, medicine, rhetoric, mnemotechnics, the visual arts, and pedagogy.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEngaging with primary and archival sources, \u003ci\u003eQuixotic Memories \u003c\/i\u003eprovides a new reading of Cervantes’s famous novel by tracing the socio-historical and cultural prominence of memory throughout the author’s lifetime. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"By Julia Dominguez","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43575645307062,"sku":"9781487543938","price":49.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0251\/4980\/0541\/files\/9781487543938.jpg?v=1727456887","url":"https:\/\/combined-academic.myshopify.com\/products\/quixotic-memories-1","provider":"Combined Academic Publishers - Mare Nostrum Group","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
