Although best known the world over for his masterpiece novel, Don Quixote de la Mancha, published in two parts in 1605 and 1615, the antics of the would-be knight-errant and his simple squire only represent a fraction of the trials and tribulations, both in the literary world and in society at large, of this complex man. Poet, playwright, soldier, slave, satirist, novelist, political commentator, and literary outsider, Cervantes achieved a minor miracle by becoming one of the rarest of things in the early modern world of letters: an international best-seller during his lifetime, with his great novel being translated into multiple languages before his death in 1616. The principal objective of the Oxford Handbook of Cervantes is to create a resource in English that provides a fully comprehensive overview of the life, works, and influences of Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra (1547–1616). This volume contains seven sections, exploring in depth Cervantes’s life and how the trials, tribulations, and hardships endured influenced his writing. Cervantistas from numerous countries, including the United Kingdom, Spain, Ireland, the United States, Canada, and France offer their expertise with the most up-to-date research and interpretations to complete this wide-ranging, but detailed, compendium of a writer not known for much other than his famous novel outside of the Spanish-speaking world. This handbook explores his famous novel Don Quixote, his other prose works, his theatrical output, his poetry, his sources, influences, and contemporaries, and finally reception of his works over the last four hundred years.

Chivalric Romance

The Don Quixote of Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra was written (1606-1615) in ridicule of the chivalric romance at that time so overwhelmingly popular. The sickening exaggeration of these latter-day tales of knighthood apparently not only cloyed Cervantes but excited his sense of the ludicrous as well, giving him the idea of turning upon this type of story his powers of subtle satire. Since Cervantes was a man of by no means great academic erudition, what he knew of the background of knightly romance he had doubtless secured in the everyday way of popular reading. Certain high lights must naturally enough have struck his attention in his perusal of current tales of chivalry, and such came in for especial attention in his Don Quixote. Each episode of the book has, indeed, its more serious counterpart in the literary background which inspired Cervantes to his task.

Knights-errant by Juliusz Słowacki — Zawisza the Black and Beniowski„Zawisza the Black” and „Beniowski” drama there are one of poorly discussed works by Juliusz Słowacki. The unfinished dramas by the poet, dating from the late, mystical phase of his literature, opens awide field of research. It appears advisable to place the thesis of apossible inspi­ration Słowacki „Don Quixote” by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra when writing drama „Zawisza the Black” and „Beniowski” drama. Spanish novel, which is amockery of chivalric romances and epics, perhaps, has become for author of „Kordian” point of reference for the creation of the world presented these works. Exemplification of these claims is to analyse „Zawisza the Black”, whose title character is seen as knight-errant possessed by madness and unhappy love, like the character of „Don Quixote”.

Derecho Penal

Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, se inscribe en la nómina de los literatos clásicos y universales que combinaron de manera magistral la Literatura y el Derecho. De todos es conocida la omnipresencia de lo jurídico en la obra de Cervantes. Pero la que muestra una irrupción extensa del autor en el mundo del Derecho es la conocida popularmente como "Don Quixote de La Mancha': Derechos de ta persona (la defensa de la vida, la libertad, la igualdad natural de los hombres); Derecho de Gentes (la concepción de la guerra y la paz, la humanización de la guerra); Monarquía, Estados y República; Gobierno y Administración de justicia (fundamentalmente la tarea de Sancho Panza como Gobernador de la Insula de Barataria); Derecho Penal (delitos y penas, antropología criminal); Derecho Privado (propiedad, responsabilidad por daños, familia); y Derecho del Trabajo (trabajos, oficios y servicios de la época, la relación jurídica entre don Quijote y Sancho).

It is very well known that legal aspects are present in Cervantes' works, mainly in Don Quixote: Rights of the person (life defence, freedom, natural equality of men); lus Gentium (the conception of war and peace, war humanization); Monarchy, States and Republic; Government and Justice Administration (mainly Sancho Panza's task as governor of the "Insula de Barataria"); Criminal Law (criminal offences and sentences, criminal anthropology); Private Law (property, damage responsibility, family); and Labour Law (jobs and services of the time, legal relationship between don Quixote and Sancho). As an Epilogue, the financing of books of a University chair and the public cost of the time of the inmortal Novel are offered

Zusammenfassung. Don Quijote und Sancho Panza, von Miguel de Cervantes Saavedras 1605/1612 geschaffene Romanhelden, erfreuen sich auch im Jahre 2003 eines großen Bekanntheitsgrades und sind als komisches Paar berühmt geworden. Beide verstricken sich in Abenteuer, die einzig ihrer Fantasie erwachsen. Im folgenden steht das Komische - aus nicht der Norm entsprechendem Verhalten oder aus wahnhaften Imaginationen erwachsend - in der literarischen Vorgabe wie auch in dem sinfonischen Tongedicht “Don Quixote“ von Richard Strauss im Mittelpunkt. Daran schließen sich Überlegungen zu einer tänzerischen Umsetzung im Rahmen eines therapeutischen Settings an. Es wird analysiert, wie sich Menschen mit unterschiedlichen Persönlichkeitszügen (resp. -störungen) darin wiederfinden können und wie die Charaktere von Don Quijote und Sancho Panza im Sinne einer eigenen Interpretation weiterentwickelt werden können. Aspekte der von Helmut Plessner vertretenen anthropologischen Betrachtungsweise des Lachens beleuchten die nur dem Menschen eigene Fähigkeit komisch zu sein und Komisches wahrzunehmen.
