Description

Emilio Martinez Mata. Cervantes comenta el Quijote. Madrid: Catedra, 2008. 156 pp. ISBN: 978-84-376-2435-8. In this unusual and deceptively simple little book, Emilio Martinez Mata gives an account of authorial intention in Don Quijote. An introductory citation of Alejandro Malaspina describes his goal: "Despojar al Quijote de unas bellezas imaginarias es dar nuevo realce a las muchas que le son propias. The imaginary beauties, according to Martinez Mata, include post-Romantic claims regarding perspectivism and don Quijote as ah advocate of the creative imagination, as set forth by the likes of Ortega, Castro, Spitzer, and Forcione (a brief and enthusiastic prologue to the ctudy is provided by Anthony Close). The fruits of paring away such embellishments? A refined appreciation of some basic concerns of Don Quijote criticism: the novels accommodating representation of literature and experience, the narrative designs which draw the complicit reader into an elaborate game of interpretation, the centrality of dialogue, the development of don Quijote and Sancho. The study is unusual in its lack of any imposing theoretical apparatus. It breezes along in sections ranging from five to fifteen pages, with parenthetical and short footnote references to the pertinent secondary literature. Concentrating on the prologue to Part I and the opening dialogues of Part II as the nuclei of Cervantes' expressions of purpose, Martinez Mata favors substantial textual citations followed by commentary. He thereby reinforces the importance of the primary context of key utterances (e.g., the stated aim of destroying the libros de caballerias, the meaning of "la verdad de la historia"), and he inserts bracketed clarifications of certain archaic usages (one of the most central and slippery being the permutations of curiosidad). The interpretative frame is occasionally expanded to include other Cervantine writings, some biographical information, as well as Cervantes' literary and conceptual horizon, including La Celestina, Lazarillo de Tormes, Garcilaso, Lope, and El Pinciano.
