The past two decades have seen an explosion in Cervantes scholarship. Indeed, it would perhaps not be an exaggeration to suggest that the last twenty years arguably represent the Golden Age of Cervantes criticism: slightly more than half of scholarly works written since 1888 have been published during the last two decades. In other words, during the last twenty years, the body of Cervantes knowledge has more than doubled, greatly expanding our variety of critical perspectives along the way. This chapter discusses the ‘across the centuries’ trend resulting from the various anniversary celebrations related to Cervantes, the ‘Cervantes and the Americas’ collections, Cervantes’s treatment of Islam, and the modernity of the novel, among other trends that have expanded Cervantine criticism since the turn of the current century.

Jean Canavaggio
Chapter 1 provides a detailed account of Cervantes’s life story addressing his humble beginnings, his travels, his military service—notably his participation in the battle of Lepanto, his captivity, his forays into writing for the stage, his various professions, and finally his stint as a professional writer. Special attention is given to Cervantes’s creation of Don Quixote, Parts I and II, and to the false second part of his great work, published under the pseudonym Avellaneda. Finally, the chapter follows Cervantes through his last days and his death in 1616. Relying on decades of research and internationally acclaimed biographies of the author of Don Quixote, Canavaggio contributes an excellent building block for the volume.

J. Thacker
Cervantes and Lope de Vega were the two most influential literary figures of early modern Spain. On the face of it, one might conclude that they complemented each other well and between them carved up the literary territories over which they were best suited to reign. However, as this chapter demonstrates, such a conclusion would be misleading and would mask an intriguing, deep, productive, and at times unsavoury relationship between the two men and their work. Throughout their respective writing careers, numerous references, both critical and praiseworthy, were reciprocated, and an equally complex personal relationship produced one of the great literary rivalries of European literature.

When studying an author of the stature of Miguel de Cervantes, we relish the corpus of works that he created in his lifetime with which we are familiar, but within the Cervantine canon appear the titles of numerous works that have not survived to the twenty-first century. Likewise, works have been attributed to Cervantes that have gained the attention of academics to varying degrees. This chapter explores, genre by genre, works attributed to Cervantes, and works that he wrote, or promised to write, that either are lost or were never written at all.
