The cultures of the Spanish baroque and our own postmodern era are closer than they might appear. ""Tilting Cervantes"" examines a number of contemporary cultural texts - from ""Fight Club"" and ""Toy Story"" to ""The Matrix"" and ""The Moor's Last Sigh"" - by reflecting them against a cluster of early modern Spanish literary works, principally Miguel de Cervantes' ""Don Quixote"". Through this series of cross-cultural, cross-epochal comparisons this book explores the ways in which each of these disparate texts illuminates its counterpart through a parallel critical reflection.
Bruce R. Burningham is Associate Professor of Spanish and Comparative Literature at Illinois State University, where he specializes in medieval and early modern Spanish and Latin American literature, Hispanic drama, and performance theory. He is the author of Radical Theatricality: Jongleuresque Performance on the Early Spanish Stage (West Lafayette, IN: Purdue UP, 2007). He is a recipient of an Andrew W. Mellon Postdoctoral Fellowship and a National Endowment for the Humanities Grant.
