The Southern inheritors of Don Quixote

Description:

"A broad study of the Quixotic spirit, The Southern Inheritors of Don Quixote points to the universal nature of the poetic fancy, which when it touches the deepest wellsprings of human experience repeats itself in cross-cultural paradigms. It is in this way that Cervantes' knight has won for himself a place of honor in the literature of the American South."--BOOK JACKET.
