Cervantes’ PERSILES and the Travails of Romance
Toronto : University of Toronto Press, 2019
Marina S. Brownlee's brief introduction offers a concise summary of the criti- cal history of Persilesy Sigismunda over the past several decades, as well as an overview of the essays and thematic divisions that make up the edited collection. If that novel revolves around a protagonist whose desires and behavior place him at odds with society, then Cervantes's last work multiplies this problem with a group of characters who must negotiate their conformity, or nonconformity, with one another in what Childers calls a "full-fledged laboratory of individualities" (105).
