"Applying notions from sociolinguistics, speech-act theory, and semiotics, Elias Rivers deftly explores the course of HIspanic literature from its prealphabetic origins through twentieth-century Latin American writings. Although the framework of each chapter is historical, "Quixotic Scriptures" investigates a diverse range of topics: the interplay between an established written mode of composition and the oral traditions that impinge on it; medieval examples of written Spanish, from Mozarabic kharjas to the "Libro de buen amor" to the works of Luis de Leon; Spanish baroque literature (theater and speech acts in "La Estrella de Sevilla", Gongora's oralistic and Latinate poetry, Quevedo's physiological imagery); the narrative trickery of Cervantes; and Spanish in the New World (from the Inca Garcilaso to "Tres tristres tigres"). Each analysis centers on a textual fragment, with English translation, and leads toward redefining the play between text, spoken language, and culture.
