CERVANTES, RAPHAEL AND THE CLASSICS.
[Cambridge}: Cambridge University Press, [1998]. Cambridge Studies In Latin American and Iberian Literature. First Edition. Signed presentation from de Armas on the front endpaper, in Spanish.
De Armas argues convincingly in this book that throughout his literary career, Cervantes was interested in the classical authors of Greece and Rome. Rather than looking at Cervantes' texts in relation to other literary works, this book demonstrates how Cervantes' experiences in Italy and his observation of Italian Renaissance art- particularly the works of Raphael at the Vatican- led him to create new images and structures in his works.
