Description

The course facilitates a close reading of Don Quixote in the artistic and historical context of renaissance and baroque Spain. Students are also expected to read four of Cervantes' Exemplary Stories, Cervantes' Don Quixote: A Casebook, and J.H. Elliott's Imperial Spain. Cervantes' work will be discussed in relation to paintings by Velázquez. The question of why Don Quixote is read today will be addressed throughout the course. Students are expected to know the book, the background readings and the materials covered in the lectures and class discussions.

Customer Reviews

Fantastic for the Average Student

Use this as a companion to reading the book to deepen your understanding of The Quixote. Dr González’ lectures are incredibly intelligent and easy to follow.

Wonderful companion to the Quixote!

The professor’s detailed lecture was an exacting review of the story, the symbolism and context of the Quixote.

He placed the story in its place atop the pantheon of Western and Spanish literature.

I learned much about 16th century Spain, Cervantes and Cervantes contemporaries.

Much as Gracias!

Cervantes Don Quijote

I can't tell you how much I have enjoyed Prof Gonzalez Echevarria's lectures on El Quijote. I have always wanted to take another course on the Quijote, slowly and carefully reviewing and rereading this master work within the context of the times. I have found this and more in these lectures and have encouraged many friends and colleagues to do the same.

Gracias, Doctor González
