Hewing closely to Peter Brook's notion of the bare or empty stage, Esther Fern?ndez and Adrienne L. Mart?n argue that Cervantes's omnipresent concern with theatricality manifests not only in his drama but also in the myriad metatheatrical instances dispersed throughout his prose works. In doing so, Drawing the Curtain sheds light on the ways in which Cervantes forces his readers to engage with themes that are central to his life and works, including love, freedom, truth, confinement, and otherness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Esther Fern?ndez\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1487508778\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781487508777\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/09\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 392\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.59lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2023","brand":"Esther Fern?ndez","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46420389429503,"sku":"9781487508777","price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_faf6c3c3-de22-400e-8eb5-b0554b8ec391.jpg?v=1734634491","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/drawing-the-curtain-esther-fernndez-9781487508777","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
