{"product_id":"archipelagoes-simone-pinet-9780816666720","title":"Archipelagoes: Insular Fictions from Chivalric Romance to the Novel","description":"\u003ci\u003eArchipelagoes\u003c\/i\u003e examines insularity as the space for adventure in the Spanish book of chivalry, much like the space of the forest in French chivalric romance. 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\u003e Pinet looks closely at \u003ci\u003eAmadís 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 caballerías\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\u003e Moving from verbal descriptions to engravings and tapestry weavings, and from the chivalric politics and ethics proposed in the \u003ci\u003eAmadís 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Simone Pinet\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0816666725\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780816666720\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Minnesota Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/17\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.50w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2011 pg. 190","brand":"Simone Pinet","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47202187804927,"sku":"9780816666720","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_19372e5d-9a4c-4911-9c90-d0b4cdce473b.jpg?v=1756819877","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/archipelagoes-simone-pinet-9780816666720","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
