Title: Quixotism
Description: "Christopher Britt Arredondo uses the term Quixotism to denote a premodern heroic ideal centered on the figure of Don Quixote as he explores these writers. Here, he shows how Ganivet turns Quixote into a spiritual conquistador, Unamuno, into a tragic messiah, Maeztu, into a smiling priest; and Ortega, into a paternalistic master. Quixotism is a new critical category of political and cultural relevance, not only for fin-de-siecle Spain and the National-Catholic Spain of the Franco era, but also the democratic, postmodern Spain of today."--BOOK JACKET.
