| book description |

The consolidation of law and the development of legal writing during Spainâ€™s Golden Age not only helped that country become a modern state but also affected its great literature. In this fascinating book, Roberto GonzÃ¡lez EchevarrÃa explores the works of Cervantes, showing how his representations of love were inspired by examples of human deviance and desire culled from legal discourse. GonzÃ¡lez EchevarrÃa describes Spainâ€™s new legal policies, legislation, and institutions and explains how, at the same time, its literature became filled with love stories derived from classical and medieval sources. Examining the ways that these legal and literary developments interacted in Cervantesâ€™s work, he sheds new light on Don Quixote and other writings.
