The Long Shadow of Don Quixote

By Magdalena Barbaruk

The book argues that Don Quixote and Quixotism are relevant to cultural studies. Changing interpretations of Don Quixote reveal cultural dynamics, and Quixotism is value-loaded. The soaring humanistic interest in Don Quixote stems from the experience of 20th-century totalitarianisms. Quixotism's pivotal facets are now bibliomania and evil.
