Produktbeschreibung
The Spanish Golden Age novelist Miguel de Cervantes has long cast a shadow over the writers who have followed in his wake. This book explores the great novelist's influence on contemporary Spanish writers. The links between the Golden Age tradition and contemporary writing are examined by leading academics in the field of the Spanish contemporary novel.
The collection focuses on aspects of literary technique and metafiction, particularly the role of the narrator, the mixing of fictional and real characters, and self-reflection and literary criticism within the novel. These are all techniques that have recognisable Cervantine traits. Other parallels with Cervantes's writing are explored such as the portrayal of a hero with quixotic characteristics and the imitation of specific episodes from Cervantes's works.

"'Tradition and Modernity' is an engaging set of essays for those with an interest in the contemporary Peninsular novel and/or the legacy of Cervantes. All the contributions enhance our knowledge of the authors treated, and are timely reminders of the importance of literary heritage in the twenty-first century."
