- catalog abstract ""Cervantes's Don Quixote confronts us with a series of enigmas that, over the centuries, have divided even its most expert readers: Does the text pursue a serious or comic purpose? Does it promote the truth of history and the untruth of fiction, or the truth of poetry and the fictiveness of truth itself? In a book that will revise the way we read and debate Don Quixote, Charles D. Presberg discusses the trope of paradox as a governing rhetorical strategy in this most cannonical of Spanish literary texts." "This book will be welcomed by literary scholars, Hispanisists, historians, and students of the history of rhetoric and poetics."--Jacket.".
