The universal and timeless appeal of the novel, however, has distanced its hero from its author and its author from his own life and the time in which he lived. The discussion of the novel's Catholic identity, therefore, is based on a reading that returns Cervantes's hero to Cervantes's text and Cervantes to the events that most shaped his life. The authors and texts McGrath cites, as well as his arguments and interpretations, are mediated by his religious sensibility. Consequently, he proposes that his study represents one way of interpreting Don Quixote and acts as a complement to other approaches. It is McGrath's assertion that the religiosity and spirituality of Cervantes's masterpiece illustrate that Don Quixote is inseparable from the teachings of Catholic orthodoxy. Furthermore, he argues that Cervantes's spirituality is as diverse as early modern Catholicism. McGrath does not believe that the novel is primarily a religious or even a serious text, and he considers his arguments through the lens of Cervantine irony, satire, and multiperspectivism. As a Roman Catholic who is a Hispanist, McGrath proposes to reclaim Cervantes's Catholicity from the interpretive tradition that ascribes a predominantly Erasmian reading of the novel. When the totality of biographical and sociohistorical events and influences that shaped Cervantes's religiosity are considered, the result is a new appreciation of the novel's moral didactic and spiritual orientation"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Miguel de Cervantes and early modern Catholicism -- The hermeneutics of Cervantine spirituality -- Don Quixote and moral theology : what a knight and his squire can teach us about Cervantes's Catholicism -- Tilting at the truth : Don Quixote's spiritual journey as a contemplative in action -- The anthropological vision of Don Quixote -- From La Mancha to Manresa : Sancho Panza's incarnational spirituality. 600 10 $a Cervantes Saavedra, Miguel de, $d 1547-1616. $t Don Quixote. 650 0 $a Spirituality in literature. 610 20 $a Catholic Church $x In literature. 610 27 $a Catholic Church. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00531720 630 07 $a Don Quixote (Cervantes Saavedra, Miguel de) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01356104 776 08 $i Online version: $a McGrath, Michael J. $t Don Quixote and Catholicism. $d West Lafayette, Indiana : Purdue University Press, [2020] $z 9781557539007 $w (DLC) 2020018921 830 0 $a Purdue studies in Romance literatures ; $v volume 79. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20201103022735.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=CEA4E08A047611EB89AE83802EECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
