	Miguel de Cervantes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cervantes was the first writer who formed the genuine romance of modern times on the model of the original chivalrous romance that equivocal creation of the genius and the barbarous taste of the Middle Ages.
		Cervantes doubtless intended that they should be to the Spaniards nearly what the novels of Boccaccio were to the Italians, some are mere anecdotes, some are romances in miniature, some are serious, some comic, and all are written in a light, smooth, conversational style.
		Cervantes includes some of his dramas among those productions with which he was himself most satisfied; and he seems to have regarded them with the greater self-complacency in proportion as they experienced the neglect of the public.This conduct has sometimes been attributed to a spirit of contradiction, and sometimes to vanity.

	CERVANTES
		Juan Lopez, the tutor of Cervantes was an indefatigable writer of poetry, particularly of romances, and he sought every means of cherishing his pupil's taste for poetic composition.
		The latest works of Cervantes were the genuine continuation and completion of Don Quixote, the Journey to Parnassus, which was first published in 1614, and finally the romance of Persiles and Sigismuinda, for which a few days previous to his death, he he wrote a dedicataon to the count of Lemos.
		The chief object of the poem is to satirize the false pretenders to the honours of the Spanish.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra
		Of Cervantes it may be most truly said that the narrative of his life is no less fraught with interest than the most exciting novel of adventure.
		The book was probably intended by Cervantes chiefly as a work of entertainment; as such it succeeded in his time and as such it still elicits the enthusiatic interest of constantly increasing generations of readers.
		Those persons are far astray who suppose that Cervantes meant to assail the Inquisition, to attack the firmly rooted devotion to the Blessed Virgin, or to deride the clergy as a class.

	ENGLISH
		When Cervantes saw what had befallen them, he charged his companions to lay all the blame upon him, and as they were being bound he declared aloud that the whole plot was of his contriving, and that nobody else had any share in it.
		Cervantes from certain solecisms of language pronounces him to be an Aragonese, and Pellicer, an Aragonese himself, supports this view and believes him, moreover, to have been an ecclesiastic, a Dominican probably.
		Cervantes' humour is for the most part of that broader and simpler sort, the strength of which lies in the perception of the incongruous.

	Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes: A searchable online version at The Literature Network
		Whether Cervantes intended it that way or not; Don Quixote has come to symbolize the good in our rotten society; a conscious that will not be shut down.
		In some ways I think Cervantes made a character who dove into a dream world, because many of us dream of being a hero or of being something we are not.
		The character of Don Quixote is not always admired- some people think he is a fool, but Cervante's novel was a success because it shows how deeply one can go after their vision of who they want to be.
