This ambitious work aims to utterly change the way Don Quixote and Cervantes' other works are read, particularly the posthumous The Trial of Persiles and Sigismunda. William Childers sets out to free Cervantes' work from its context within the histories of the European national literatures. Instead, he examines early modern Spanish cultural production as an antecedent to contemporary postcolonial literature, especially Latin American fiction of the past half century.In order to construct his new context for reading Cervantes, Childers proceeds in three distinct phases. First, Cervantes' relation to the Western literary canon is reconfigured, detaching him from the realist novel and associating him, instead, with magic realism. Second, Childers provides an innovative reading of The Trial of Persiles and Sigismunda as a transnational romance, exploring cultural boundaries and the hybridization of identities. Finally, Childers explores traces of and similarities to Cervantes in contemporary fiction.Theoretically eclectic and methodologically innovative, Transnational Cervantes opens up many avenues for research and debate, aiming to bring Cervantes' writings forward into the brave new world of our postcolonial age.

Este libro vuelve a la temática inquisitorial recurriendo a un nuevo planteamiento. Y para ello, se hace uso de una fuente documental novedosa y casi desconocida, ofreciendo al lector una visión inédita de la Inquisición y sus proyecciones.La Inquisición vista desde abajo coloca en el centro del análisis a gente corriente que se vio involucrada en los tribunales del Santo Oficio. Junto a ella, los ministros de la institución aparecen actuando a pie de calle, recogiendo un sinfín de deposiciones, acusaciones o testimonios de muy diversa índole. La lectura crítica de estas testificaciones delata a su vez una panoplia de creencias, miedos y prejuicios anidados en las mentalidades y en la cultura popular de aquella época, lo cual ayuda al lector a entender mejor el mundo del que procedemos y que nos conforma. Tal ha sido el enfoque seguido por los cuatro autores de este libro a la hora de realizar su trabajo de investigación: indagar el universo mental del hombre común a partir de una fuente que emanaba de la calle, a saber, los expedientes de testificaciones existentes en los archivos de la Inquisición.
