This edited volume of fourteen specially commissioned essays written from a variety of critical perspectives by leading cervantine scholars seeks to provide an overview of Cervantes's 'Novelas ejemplares' which will be of interest to a broad academic readership. An extensive general Introduction places the Novelas in the context of Cervantes's life and work; provides basic information about their content, composition, internal ordering, publication, and critical reception, gives detailed consideration to the contemporary literary-theoretical issues implicit in the title, and outlines and contributes to the key critical debates on their variety, unity, exemplarity, and supposed 'hidden mystery'. After a series of chapters on the individual stories, the volume concludes with two survey essays devoted, respectively, to the understanding of eutrapelia implicit in the Novelas, and to the dynamics of the character pairing that is one of their salient features. Detailed plot summaries of each of the stories, and a Guide to Further Reading are supplied as appendices.

Vor dem Hintergrund der Diskussion über die krisenhafte Raumerfahrung der Frühen Neuzeit untersucht die Autorin die Präsentation von Wahrnehmung und Perspektive in den Novellen von Cervantes (1547-1616). Der Vergleich mit Textbeispielen aus anderen spanischen Novellensammlungen des 16. und 17. Jahrhunderts (Timoneda, Lope de Vega, Céspedes y Meneses, María de Zayas) enthüllt dabei eindrücklich bislang vernachlässigte Charakteristika des cervantinischen Schreibens. Die Verfasserin diskutiert den häufig unscharf verwendeten Begriff der Perspektive kritisch und untersucht die Darstellung der Wahrnehmungsperspektiven als syntagmatischen literarischen Ausdruck des Paradigmas der Perspektive. Im Mittelpunkt stehen erstmals die räumliche Perspektivierung der Wahrnehmung und der konkrete Wahrnehmungsakt. Es gelingt der Autorin, die bis heute "geheimnisvolle Perspektivenwirkung" (Hatzfeld), die auch Autoren wie Flaubert bei der Lektüre von Cervantes verblüffte, durchschaubar zu machen. Der Leser gewinnt einen vertieften Einblick in die teilweise neuartigen Erzählverfahren von Cervantes. In seinem Werk finden sich so Ansätze zu fokalisiertem Erzählen, in dem Krisensituationen und Orientierungskrisen der Figuren ihren Ausdruck finden. Offengelegt wird damit ein erkenntnistheoretisches Problem, das auf die Moderne verweist. Statt einer bloßen Opposition von engaño und desengaño, von Illusion und Desillusionierung, die der Barockliteratur immer wieder nachgesagt wurde, zeigt die Verfasseirn bei Cervantes eine differenzierte Darstellung des Wahrnehmungsaktes als Prozeß auf. Die synchrone und diachrone Perspektivierung der Wahrnehmung führt in den Novellen von Cervantes zu einem kontextualisierten und subjektbezogenen Wahrheits- und Erkenntniskonzept. Dieses befindet sich im Spannungsverhältnis zur 'gesteuerten Kultur' (Maravall) der spanischen Barockgesellschaft. Die Untersuchung bietet vielseitige Anregungen und neue Einsichten für eine Auseinandersetzung mit Cervantes, dem spanischen 'Goldenen Zeitalter' sowie der Novellistik und Erzähltheorie der Frühen Neuzeit und Moderne.

Michael Scham uses Cervantes's Don Quijote and Novelas ejemplares as the basis for a wide-ranging exploration of early modern Spanish views on recreations ranging from cards and dice to hunting, attending the theater, and reading fiction.

Animal Narratology interrogates what it means to narrate, to speak—speak for, on behalf of—and to voice, or represent life beyond the human, which is in itself as different as insects, bears, and dogs are from each other, and yet more, as individual as a single mouse, horse, or puma. The varied contributions to this interdisciplinary Special Issue highlight assumptions about the human perception of, attitude toward, and responsibility for the animals that are read and written about, thus demonstrating that just as “the animal” does not exist, neither does “the human”. In their zoopoetic focus, the analyses are aware that animal narratology ultimately always contains an approximation of an animal perspective in human terms and terminology, yet they make clear that what matters is how the animal is approximated and that there is an effort to approach and encounter the non-human in the first place. Many of the analyses come to the conclusion that literary animals give readers the opportunity to expand their own points of view both on themselves and others by adopting another’s perspective to the degree that such an endeavor is possible. Ultimately, the contributions call for a recognition of the many spaces, moments, and modes in which human lives are entangled with those of animals—one of which is located within the creative bounds of storytelling.
