Cervantes's "Novelas ejemplares" rival "Don Quijote" in complexity and significance. This book analyzes all twelve novelas, seeking to illuminate the inherent tensions between the usually affirmative resolutions and lessons proposed by Cervantes's narrators, on the one hand, and the inescapable socio-cultural dissonances and ironies of story and language, on the other. This reading of the entire collection reveals the richness and complexity of many of the less-studied novelas as well as the striking modernity (or postmodernity) of the final text.
William H. Clamurro is Professor of Spanish and Chair of Foreign Languages at Emporia State University (Kansas). He received his Ph.D. in comparative Literature from the University of Washington. The author of Language and Ideology in the Prose of Quevedo, Dr. Clamurro has published numerous articles in professional journals on Quevedo, Cervantes, and other writers of the Spanish Golden Age.
