Weekly Seminar: Cervantes, Don Quixote

Don Quixote is a brilliant satire on the conflicts between idealism and realism, nobility and worldliness, compassion and self-interest. The profound tragedy underlying the boisterous comedy places Cervantes on a level with his contemporary, Shakespeare.

Recommended edition: any edition is acceptable.
