This volume offers a bold re-examination of the representation of women in the work of Miguel de Cervantes by highlighting the role of perversity. Bringing together historicist, psychoanalytic, feminist, and queer perspectives, the essays analyze how Cervantes’ narratives construct scenes of sexual violence, objectification, and female suffering while perversely inviting the reader’s complicity in their consumption. Through readings of Don Quijote, the Novelas ejemplares, and other works, contributors challenge the long-standing view of Cervantes as a proto-feminist author. Instead, they reveal how his fiction often transforms women’s vulnerability into narrative spectacle, exposing the troubling dynamics of power, gender, and pleasure embedded in the Cervantine aesthetic.

This study offers a typology of the go-between across key texts from antiquity and several medieval literary traditions, analyzing the role of the third party in the poetics of love.The work provides the indispensable context for the study of the significant transformations undergone by the go-between. Legal and scientific sources are taken into account alongside Latin, French, and English literary works and literature of the medieval Islamic period for the critique of differences and intertextual links which inform the conception of the go-between. The case of the Medieval Spanish go-between is given a special attention due to the figure's complex relationship with diverse traditions.The range covered in the work provides a comprehensive view of the figure's trajectory and representation in each text.
