A Companion to Don Juan Manuel
Series:
This volume offers a rigorous and up-to-date collection of studies of Don Juan Manuel’s life, works, and cultural impact, the first in nearly 50 years. Alongside a comprehensive overview of key debates in Juan Manuel studies, including issues of authorship, manuscript transmission, Latin and Semitic sources, and Alfonso X’s legacy, the essays use a range of contemporary theoretical and disciplinary methods to shed new light on his corpus. Bringing together distinguished scholars and new voices in the field, the volume reassesses Don Juan Manuel’s role in the Spanish literary canon while situating him in his Iberian and Mediterranean contexts.
