At a time when a pandemic is sweeping the world, this book reflects on the danger outside by concentrating on the role of enclosed structures as places where humans may feel safe, or as sites of beauty and harmony that provide solace. At the same time, a number of the architectures in Cervantes trigger dread and claustrophobia as they display a kind of shapelessness and a haunting aura that blends with the narrative.This volume invites readers to discover hundreds of edifices that Cervantes built with the pen. Their variety is astounding. The narrators and characters in these novels tell of castles, fortifications, inns, mills, prisons, palaces, towers, and villas which appear in their routes or in their conversations, and which welcome them, amaze them, or entrap them. Cervantes may describe actual buildings such as the Pantheon in Rome, or he may imagine structures that metamorphose before our eyes, as we come to view one architecture within another, and within another, creating an abyss of space. They deeply affect the characters as they feel enclosed, liberated, or suspended or as they look upon such structures with dread, relief, or admiration.Cervantes' Architectures sheds light on how places and spaces are perceived through words and how impossible structures find support, paradoxically, in the literary architecture of the work."-- |cProvided by publisher. 530 Issued also in electronic format. 600 10 Cervantes Saavedra, Miguel de, |d1547-1616 |xCriticism and interpretation. 650 0 Architecture in literature. 600 17 Cervantes Saavedra, Miguel de, |d1547-1616. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00041951 650 7 Architecture in literature. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00813598 655 7 Criticism, interpretation, etc. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01411635 776 08 |iOnline version:De Armas, Frederick A., 1945- |tCervantes' architectures. |dToronto ; Buffalo ; London : University of Toronto Press, 2022 |z1487542402 |z9781487542405 |w(OCoLC)1288340011 830 0 Toronto Iberic ; |v76. 910 |cG0601mon |d3110-07 |gYBP |h443332 914 (OCoLC)on1280275959 |bOCoLC |cmatch |d20240530 |eprocessed |f1280275959 980 17680931 |i85.00 |j69.70 |n40031288475 982 |cf |q32101118825619 986 |hPQ6351 |i.D4 2022
