Book Description:

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.
