'Lector Ludens'
«'I endorse Scham's book as a fine contribution to Cervantes studies.' -- Eduardo Olid Guerrero Modern Philology vol 113:04:2016 'The range and depth of the study are admirable. The approach is scholarly and distinctive with some surprising and effective juxtapositions - and the treatment of the topic is, appropriately entertaining. Highly recommended.' -- E.H. Friedman Choice Magazine vol 52:06:2015 'Scham's book is a fascinating and scholarly analysis of games and play in Cervantes and an excellent accounting of his place in wider European context.' -- Harry Sieber Renaissance Quarterly vol 68:04:2014»
In sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Spain, debating the acceptability of games and recreation was serious business. With Lector Ludens, Michael Scham uses Cervantes's Don Quijote and Novelas ejemplares as the basis for a wide-ranging exploration of early modern Spanish views on recreations ranging from cards and dice to hunting, attending the theater, and reading fiction.
