Designed as a 'reading guide', this book provides a three-tiered approach to the literary fabric of Cervantes' masterpiece: story, narrators, characters, style and structure. Its three major divisions - 'The Exemplary Story, The Quixotic Fiction, The Mythical Don Quixote', trace and analyze episode by episode the hero's transformation from a 'clinical' case of literary insanity and chivalric folly, through the artifice of interlocking fictions that sustain his rise to mock in Part I, to mythical status as redemptive hero of social satire in Part II.

Review:

..".Like the book it illuminates, Murillo's study offers solace and stimulation for all seasons, with something substantive for every critical humor." James A. Parr, Professor of Spanish, University of Southern California

..".The result is a beautifully organized and unhurried promenade through the masterpiece that opens up new vistas for even the most practiced reader and discovers interconnections new to even the most knowledgeable. In one stroke Professor Murillo has rendered all earlier critical guides out of date." Alan S. Trueblood, Professor of Hispanic Studies and Comparative Literature, Brown University
