Enlisting in the Spanish infantry in 1570, he fought at the battle of Lepanto, was seized at sea and held captive by Algerian corsairs, and returned to Spain with a deep knowledge of military life. He understood the costs of heroism, the fragility of fame, and the power of the military culture of brotherhood.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eHeroic Forms\u003c\/em\u003e, Stephen Rupp connects Cervantes’s complex and inventive approach to literary genre and his many representations of early modern warfare. Examining Cervantes’s plays and poetry as well as his prose, Rupp demonstrates how Cervantes’s works express his perceptions of military life and how Cervantes interpreted the experience of war through the genres of the era: epic, tragedy, pastoral, romance, and picaresque fiction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNote on Texts and Translations\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 Warriors: Epic and Tragedy\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 Defenders: Pastoral and Satire\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 Captains and Saints: Lyric and Romance\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 Soldiers and Sinners: Picaresque\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eConclusion\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNotes\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWorks Cited\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"University of Toronto Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52595499204888,"sku":"9781487522544","price":22.96,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/heroic-forms-cervantes-and-the-literature-of-war-paperback-softback-9781487522544","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
