Supplemental context
Don Quixote follows a reader of chivalric romances whose imagined knighthood collides with everyday life. Cervantes published the novel in two parts, in 1605 and 1615. Its comedy invites future readers to examine the influence of stories on perception and the tension between aspiration and practical experience. Translation and later adaptations are also part of its changing reception.
Creator/community: Miguel de Cervantes and subsequent translators, illustrators and readers Place/era: Spain; first part 1605, second part 1615
Context and limits
The reused generated book, hat and landscape were created for this same novel; they are not a first edition, authentic author possession or literal scene reconstruction. The first-modern-novel label is a literary classification rather than an uncontested global beginning. Particular translations and illustrations have separate rights.
