At the Margins of the Renaissance - Lazarillo de Tormes and the Picaresque Art of Survival

About the author

Giancarlo Maiorino is Rudy Professor Emeritus of Comparative Literature at Indiana University. He is the author of numerous books, including First Pages: A Poetics of Titles (Penn State, 2008).

Summary

Maiorino treats this picaresque narrative as a prism for exploring econopoetics, a term he uses to foreground the ways in which literary and economic modes of production feed off one another. His approach introduces readers to the world of common people of Renaissance Spain even as it affords abundant insights into the significance of this classic.
