Inventing the Romantic Don Quixote in France
Jansenists, Rousseau, and British Quixotism
Gebonden Engels 2023 1e druk 9781032467252Samenvatting
The only book recognizing and documenting the French creation of the Romantic interpretation of Don Quixote.
Interdisciplinary, combining Jansenism’s social adaptation of Pascal’s philosophy with the historical circumstances in Britain that later generated a distinct but interconnected version of the Don Quixote myth.
The book analyzes Rousseau’s integration of the Jansenist sequel to Cervantes’ novel into one of his plays and his best-selling novel Julie, or the New Heloise.
A team of Commedia dell’Arte scholars have collaborated to explain the origin in Italian theater of the magician Parafaragaramus, who transforms Don Quixote from a deluded highway robber into a champion of altruism.
This is the only book to include and explain the rare eighteenth-century illustrations of the French sequel and the continuing presence of Parafaragaramus in French culture.
