The first chapter, "Charity, Poverty, and Liminality in the Lazarillo," uses Lazarillo de Tormes as a case study to make the convincing argument that Picaros took the place of medieval lepers as socially liminal figures in the Renaissance. There is no evidence of the arrival of literary picaros, such as Lazarillo de Tormes and Periquillo Sarniento, until the late nineteenth century, when books finally came into the hands of New Mexicans in significant quantities. Castillo pursues his mode of reading through a number of major literary texts of the period: the picaresque novels Lazarillo de Tormes, Guzmdn de Alfarache, and La picara Justina, in part 1, and, in part 2, Cervantes' novels Don Quixote and Persiles as well as selected examples of Cervantes' theater. |
