The work of Miguel de Cervantes - one of the most influential writers in early modern Europe - is a reflection of the rich culture of memory in which it was created. More than a theme, memory is a system of understanding in Cervantes' world, resulting from the major social, religious, and economic changes that epitomized Renaissance humanist culture and that informed the transition to modernity.

Quixotic Memories offers insight into the plurality and complexity of memory and demonstrates how it plays an exceptionally critical role in Cervantes' Don Quixote. It acknowledges Cervantes' transition into modernity as he engaged with theories of memory that were developed in classical antiquity and adapted to the specific circumstances of his own time. Julia Dominguez explores the many spaces that memory created for itself in early modern Spain, particularly in the fields of philosophy, medicine, rhetoric, mnemotechnics, the visual arts, and pedagogy.

Engaging with primary and archival sources, Quixotic Memories provides a new reading of Cervantes' famous novel by tracing the socio-historical and cultural prominence of memory throughout the author's lifetime.
