In this innovative work, Simone Pinet explores the emergence of insularity as a privileged place for the location of adventure in Spanish literature in tandem with the cartographic genre of the isolario.\u003cbr\u003ePinet looks closely at \u003ci\u003eAmads de Gaula\u003c\/i\u003e and the \u003ci\u003eLiber insularum archipelagi\u003c\/i\u003e as the first examples of these genres. Both isolario and chivalric romance (\u003ci\u003elibros de caballeras\u003c\/i\u003e) make of the island a flexible yet cohesive framework that becomes intrinsic to the construction of their respective genres. The popularity of these forms throughout the seventeenth century in turn bears witness to the numerous possibilities the archipelagic structure offered, ultimately taken up by the grand genres of each discipline-the atlas and the novel. \u003cbr\u003eMoving from verbal descriptions to engravings and tapestry weavings, and from the chivalric politics and ethics proposed in the \u003ci\u003eAmads de Gaula\u003c\/i\u003e to the Insula Barataria episode in \u003ci\u003eDon Quixote\u003c\/i\u003e, Pinet's analysis of insularity and the use of the island structure reveals diverging roles for fiction, illuminating both the emergence of the novel and contemporary philosophical discussion on fiction.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47919114092702,"sku":"ING-9780816666720","price":41.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780816666720.jpg?v=1782808048","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9780816666720","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
