Name on the title page of a fundamental work on Algiers in Cervantes' day, whose authorship is disputed. The dispute is not about whether Haedo was the author; everyone agrees he was not. It is about who the real author was.

Haedo facilitó la publicación aparte de un libro, el único contemporáneo sobre el Argel en que vivió Cervantes. Literatura de testimonio, quiere documentar los horrores que ha visto. Para facilitar la conquista de la ciudad por el rey Felipe II, proporciona mucha información sobre las defensas de la ciudad.

Se disputa la autoría de la obra. Todos están conformes en que el autor no fue Haedo, benedictino que jamás visitó Argel.

In this book Carroll Johnson studies Don Quixote’s madness
from a sexual point of view, treating him as though he were a real
person and tracing his actions back to their unspoken motivations.
His thesis is easily stated. Alonso Quixano’s insanity is not caused
by the reading of romances of chivalry, but by unresolved sexual
tension and the pressures of middle age. The concept of "midlife crisis", though not called that, existed in Cervantes's day.

It is certainly possible that Cervantes committed homosexual act(s), and his contemporaries thought it more than possible. But the evidence for it is weak. If he wanted homosexual pleasures, his departure from Algiers is inexplicable. Boys were for Cervantes a nuisance. He rejects all sexuality, hetero as well as homo, which is only to be indulged in because we have to reproduce (the Catholic position). He was, however, a supporter of nonsexual amorous relations, which in his view were only possible between men.

Se han supuesto dos cosas: 1) que el término "romance" en el Siglo de Oro se refiere a un género de poemas narrativos folclóricos, octosilábicos y con rima asonante y 2) Cervantes los admiraba, y los cita a menudo en <i>Don Quijote</i>

Este ensayo se propone demostar que ninguna de estas suposiciones es correcta. Para el siglo XVI y Cervantes, los romances viejos no eran poesía y menos una foma métrica, sino historia: historia caballeresca, igual que los libros de caballerías. Igual que ellos, ofrecían historia equivocada e incluso mentirosa, y ensalzaron a héroes extranjeros ficticios en vez de los auténticos héroes españoles. Cervantes los ataca en <i>Don Quijote</i>, igual que los libros de caballerías y por los mismos motivos. Su papel en la obra es menor, pues los libros de caballerías, leídos por nobles, representaban, en opinión de Cervantes, un peligro a la nación mucho mayor.

Ahora, basándome en los muchos libros y autores que menciona, y sugerencias de eruditos, como E.C.

Diego de Argel, cuyo nombre aparece en la portada, no estuvo nunca en Argel, y menciona textos que le habían sido entregados. Los eruditos modernos están en rara unanimidad en una cuestión cervantina, que Haedo no escribió la obra. En esta ponencia propongo que el autor fue el gran escritor preso en Argel entonces, el único autor allí, Miguel de Cervantes. Este fue militar y pudo escribir la información militar contenida en la obra, hecha para facilitar una limpia de piratas por Felipe II que no se produjo. Los paralelos entre los escritos de Cervantes y el de "Haedo" son tan cercanos que dejan a un erudito moderno "sumido en la perplejidad".

<i>Romances</i>, commonly translated as "ballads", narrative poems, have a role in <i>Don Quixote</i> second only to that of the romances of chivalry (<i>libros de caballerías</i>), the reading of which led to the protagonist's madness. However, the <i>romances</i> were taken at the time to be historical works, not poetry. Like the romances of chivalry, for Cervantes they were reading to be condemned for inaccuracies, not celebrated. At the time, "romance" was not a metrical form.
Cervantes no era pobre. Disponía de fondos y ganas de formarse su propia biblioteca.

The clearest statement ever published on the relation of Lorca's death with sexuality. Schonberg at that time well-known and controversial, not to say disreputable, in Lorca circles because of his 1966 book, in which he clearly says that Lorca was not assassinated for historical motives, although he does not reveal his documentation.  Schonberg is a pseudonym; his true name is Louis de Stinghamber Schonberg. After visiting Schonberg at his home near Nice, he shared his documentation. He was somewhat of a crackpot seen in person.

The other two items in the book are not reproduced here because they were súbseqienly republished elsewhere. The article on Schonberg was never reprinted (and who would have wanted to publish it?), and needed "rescueing" here.

If truck drivers are the arrieros of today's world, and truckstops the ventas, university professors are surely the caballeros andantes. No other profession is as mobile: like the knights-errant, we are constantly running off to this or that corner of the country, or the world, to pursue research, to meet with each other, or I suspect, for no other reason than that we enjoy it and society sanctions it. The means by which a scholar enters the profession, which, like the chivalric world, runs on honra, fama, and oral exchange of information , resemble to a surprising degree the medieval world as portrayed in the Spanish libros de caballerías. In the chivalric books, the knight seeks to be dubbed by the person of highest status he can convince to do it, because some of the honor of the person conferring knighthood " rubs off " on the acolyte. Is not the same true of our doctoral-granting institutions? There is a historical parallel between the " thesis " which new scholars must defend against all comers (and still do, in some

Safe sex practices ("safer sex" as a term was unknown at the time) can greatly reduce, but not eliminate, the chances of contracting an STI. Reducing number of partners (it was not uncommon for men to have sex with multiple partners in one day) and the use of the condom greatly rduces the risk. However, some men report that risky sex is hotter and more fulfilling.

He was a poet and wrote in other areas, common at the time, when scholars did not specialize.

A public letter, published in 1777 and never reprinted until now, in which Bowle, under guise of a letter to his friend the medievalist Thomas Percy, explains in detail his plans for editing <i>Don Quixote</i>, with maps and a sample of the index and of his proposed annotated map, and "A List of the Romances which have in numerous Instances illustrated the Text of Don Quixote."

There is a misprint in Bowle's title page, on p. 97: says "Don Quijote", should say "Don Quixote".

A Spanish translation is available; search for "Una carta al Dr. Percy".

There has been a lot of confusion about just what Bowle published in 1781: two editions? One in Salisbury amd the other in London? Actually there was one edition but two of what bibliographers call emisions. The only difference is in title pages, and in the first volume, Bowle's dedicatory letter to Francis, Earl of Huntington.

Two eighteenth-century scholars - one (Percy) the first medievalist and literary antiquarian, the other (Bowle) the first Cervantine scholar and Hispanist - exchange letters. Both were great enthusiasts of the Spanish <i>libros de caballerías</i> (romances of chivalry), though in different ways. Both of them loved <i>Don Quijote</i>, though for different reasons.
John Bowle fue el primero a quien se aplicó el término "hispanista", además de cervantista. Su edición es la primera para la cual se cotejaron varias ediciones, la primera con anotaciones, índices y líneas numeradas.

The 60,000-square-foot (5,600 m 2) facility has a 300-seat auditorium, 5,000-square-foot art gallery, and Small Business Resource Center. [1] Since its opening, the Center has hosted more than 38 major exhibits and served more than 895,000 customers. [2][dead link] It is the sixth-largest library in the Broward County Library System and the third of its kind in the nation. [3] 1.1 History [ edit ] Samuel F. Morrison, while director of the Broward County Libraries Division, was inspired to build an ethnically-focused library after a visit to the Auburn Avenue Research Library on African American Culture and History. [2] At that time, the Auburn Avenue Research Library and the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture in New York City were the only two research libraries in African-American culture in the nation. Morrison, however, was determined to "build a library in the African-American area, with county funds." [4] 1.2 Funding [ edit ] Between 1990 and 1995, Morrison engaged in numerous conversations and negotiations with county officials on the construction of the library. [4] Funds had already been saved to replace the smaller Von D. Mizell Branch Library in Fort Lauderdale. The Broward County Commission had provided the land and $5 million towards the new library. Morrison,

It is at the end of the Red Summer riots of 1919. A small group of soldiers from Fort Meade (one paper says 4, another 7) were walking on Spring Street when a bottle thrown from a house hit one of them. "The doughboys began yelling at the negroes and daring them to leave their homes." [1] There was fear that a riot would develop.

Written by Florida planter and Quaker Zephaniah Kingsley, it was first published under the signature "A Resident of Florida" in 1828, although Kingsley's name is found at the end of the Preface. It was reprinted in 1829, 1833, and 1834, indicating significant readership. [1]:xi No other pro-slavery writing in the United States was reprinted as many times. Kingsley believed that "free people of color", better treated in Spanish Florida than in the American South, should be allowed to own property, and other rights, and made the case that they were beneficial to the country in which they lived.

LIKE THE EDITOR OF a text, a translator is creating a text as well. The translator must, of course, choose a text (or perhaps multiple versions of a text) in the original language. Given the heated debate over the text of Don Quixote during the last thirty years, and the lack of a general consensus about which of the several competing editions is most worthy of use, (1) it may be helpful to examine how the translators have approached the question of the work&#39;s text. As will be seen, some are aware of the problems and carefully explain how they have handled the text, while others are less informative or seemingly ignorant of the whole situation. First the translations will be reviewed chronologically; then we will examine how the translators have handled some key textual points. The earliest translators are the ones who go into the greatest depth about textual questions. John Ormsby is the earliest translator (1885) whose version is still in current use, free for the taking on th...

Para mi vecina, Alicia de Colombi-Monguio &quot;Lo que necesitamos es una vida de Cervantes escrita con criterio estrictamente cientifico. Es decir, que ano por ano como ya hizo Cotarelo en sus Efemerides cervantinas--diga lo que se sabe, lo que se ha escrito; que analice, juzgue y pondere el valor de los datos y de las deducciones. En una palabra, que sepamos a que atenernos y que se nos diga que hay de fantasia y de verdad en el inmenso cumulo de publicaciones sobre Cervantes. Y todo lo que se descubra o deduzca de nuevo, estudiarlo aparte. Es necesario, sobre todo, proceder con seriedad y no decir nada sin senalar las fuentes bibliograficas; no repetir lo que esta trillado o escondido en esta o aquella publicacion y hacer historia sucinta de como se ha ido descubriendo lo que sabemos de la vida de Cervantes&quot; (Mohedano 376). Esto hace cincuenta anos, y los consejos no han sido atendidos. Todavia &quot;carecemos de una biografia critica digna de este nombre.&quot; (2) Cierto, y la falta de esta insigne biografia ya comienza a ser lugar comun en los estudios cervantinos, tema de &quot;estados de la cuestion,&quot; como hace pocos anos lo era la falta de una edicion critica. (3) En el siglo XX, solo ha habido dos que avanzaron significativamente nuestro conocimiento. La de Fitzmaurice-Kelly, injustamente olvidada, puso en forma narrativa los datos contenidos en los documentos publicados por Perez Pastor en 1897 y 1902. (4) Cincuenta anos despues, Astrana publico, en siete tomos, La vida ejemplar y heroica de Cervantes, &quot;con mil documentos hasta ahora ineditos y numerosas ilustraciones y grabados de epoca,&quot; como puntualizo el mismo autor. Su titulo ya da una idea de su orientacion, y el subtitulo, del egoismo de su autor. Y desde Astrana, no ha habido ninguna biografia erudita o cabal, solamente popularizaciones de mayor o menor hondura. Carecemos, pues, de una biografia critica. La tarea de elaborarla no es nada apetecedora; por algo no la ha escrito el mismo Canavaggio. Pocas figuras--ninguna, en Espana--presentan dificultades parecidas. Fuentes no faltan, aunque no son exactamente las que quisieramos. Apenas existe su epistolario. (5) Viajo mucho y se mudo con frecuencia; por ello hay que conocer la vida cotidiana y literaria de varias ciudades y paises. Apenas hay escritos de sus contemporaneos sobre el; comentarios sueltos de alguna palabra o epiteto aqui y alla, si, pero los escritos sobre Cervantes que pasan de una pagina o son hostiles (el prologo de Avellaneda), o puede haberlos escritos el mismo Cervantes. (6) Tampoco se preocupo ningun amigo en reunir y publicar sus textos ineditos, como hicieron Boscan y Pacheco para Garcilaso y Herrera respectivamente. Textos supuestamente autobiograficos los hay, desde luego. Cervantes fue &quot;autobiografo insustituible,&quot; en el giro de Astrana (3: 75), pero el Cervantes pintado en ellos no es sino otro de sus personajes. (7) Y no lo olvidemos: ni la libertad de prensa, ni de expresion ni incluso de pensamiento existieron en aquel supuestamente dorado siglo. Siempre tenemos que leer entre las lineas y meditar los silencios, si pretendemos conocer como era el hombre Miguel de Cervantes. Quien quisiera reconstruir el mundo de una persona desaparecida tiene que leer los libros que este leyo. Es, por ejemplo, lo que para Coleridge hizo John Livingston Lowes en su clasico The Road to Xanadu. Pero las lecturas de Cervantes eran amplisimas, anos enteros sin television ni peliculas, con los libros como su principal diversion, consuelo y amistad. Por consiguiente, ninguno de nosotros puede ni podra nunca leer todos esos libros. (8) Ni se puede hacer, con la misma penetracion, lo que ha hecho Pedro Ruiz Perez para Herrera. Este factor por si solo hace imposible que un biografo pueda conocerle a fondo. Sus libros trataron de todo lo divino y humano, y Cervantes, entre las otras muchas cosas que era, fue un investigador. Se creia capaz de escribir sobre &quot;el universo todo&quot; (Don Quijote, II, 44) e investigo el amor y los celos, las hierbas, la magia, la caballeria historica, la historia patria y la historia y teoria literarias. …
