The following notes are from the Cambridge University Press Website:
Don Quixote de la Mancha is one of the classic texts of Western literature, yet Cervantes remains an enigmatic figure. This Companion is a comprehensive treatment of Cervantes’ life and work. Essays by outstanding Hispanistas cover the historical and political context of Cervantes’ writing, his place in Renaissance culture, and the role of Don Quixote in the formation of the modern novel. The volume provides suggestions for further reading, a detailed chronology and a guide to electronic resources.

Reviews
“This book is for advanced readers of Cervantes. It bears all the appropriate marks of contemporary critical concerns, and its authors have done a fine job bringing readers up to date on current trends in approaches to an author whose works convey new meanings to successive generations of readers.” Elizabeth Rhodes, Boston College, Sixteenth Century Journal
“This thoughtfully-chosen collection of essays is a welcome guide to the labyrinthine world of Cervantes scholarship…[It is ] a fine accomplishment, and one that equals the sum of its elegant parts.” Seventeenth Century News
