El pensamiento de Cervantes pdffiller Later when the Spanish Republic was declared he became its first ambassador to Germany in 1931 But when the Spanish Civil War broke out in 1936 he moved to the United States teaching literature at the University of Wisconsin Madison from 1937 to 1939 at the University of Texas from 1939 to 1940 and at Princeton University from 1940 to 1953. EPub El pensamiento de cervantes hotel Among Castro s most notable scholarly works are The Life of Lope de Vega 1919 Language Teaching and Literature 1924 The Thought of Cervantes 1925 Ibero America Its Present and Its Past 1941 The Spaniards an Introduction to their History 1948 The Structure of Spanish History 1954 and Out of the State of Conflict 1961 site_link There s references to many of his works but it s enough with having read Don Quixote in order to understand any of this better And to have a grasp of what Erasmus stoicism and Seneca represent as well A little historical help can always prove to be useful On the theological realm it often seems as there is such a cartoon of Catholics that it is hard to believe as if Counter Reform Catholics were living in some kind of hell that Protestants were not exempt of but it demanded a certain praise of hypocrisy to get away with particular stuff on books and all priests were too dumb to notice his wit Of course the theological matters were of concern but by no means the central part of the book which made this point of view tolerable though he necessarily felt the need to treat Erasmus as anti Catholic which has led me to research on the subject since in my own reading of In the Praise of Folly I could not detect any of that The dualism of renaissance the particular point of view held by the author towards poetics a nice mix of Horatian and Aristotelian precepts his idea of justice and morals popular customs etc while not completely deprived of the influence of religion help much to understand what he was trying to write Either that or Cervantes was trying to have a laugh at all of us a thesis which Castro seems to refuse but that I don t discard entirely The study of sources is also one of the biggest accomplishments of this book even if in the future this would be done with depth It sa good thing that he dared to challenge critics who associated Cervantes with common knowledge and swallowed the whole false modesty pill without realizing that Cervantes was not seeking to please the public because of a few jabs at pretentiousness This is not new and it has been around by most of middle ages so it s truly surprising that a bunch of self proclaimed competent critics would fall for it The view of marriage of women in general and his defense of free will in matters concerning romantic love which led to the conversion of Muslims justice being done before irresponsible men and some of the smartest female characters is also worthy of highlight and might turn into a favorite thing of feminists who like to smash all things before gay marriage except that it ultimately leads to happy marriages or women who while rejecting marriage for themselves accept it as a possible lifestyle for other women I still enjoyed this book through and through because it led me to search information about such a fascinating period of time author and works it has made me want to read about and by Cervantes himself and of course it s not a good book if you only are doomed to nod at every sentence Paperback
