  La Galatea and Cervantes' "Tercia Realidad", by Elizabeth Rhodes
By writing La Galatea, Cervantes discovered that representation of the life experience is not true without adequate consideration of the world we live in (emotions, philosophies, desires, illusions —all the stuff of pastoral), as well as the world we live with, the one we can touch with our senses.
His repeated mention of La Galatea and the pastoral episodes that appear in his later works imply recognition that while the values exalted by pastoral are indeed basic to the human condition, representing those values in an artificial environment is not.
La Galatea marks the gestation period of the fictional characters later born of Cervantes' genius.

 La Galatea - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
La Galatea was Miguel de Cervantes’ first book, published in 1585.
One of the primary treatments in the Galatea, and most evident in the contrast betwixt Elicio and Erastro, is the perception of rural and city folk and their lives.
The Galatea enjoyed moderate success, but any work that Cervantes may have begun on a conclusion was lost to history following his death.

 La Galatea: Structural Unity and the Pastoral Convention, by Robert M. Johnston
Galatea's application of discreción to her original nature results in a state of inner perfection analogous to the tercia naturaleza of the ideal landscape.
Galatea's opposition to the marriage her father has arranged means that it would lack the union of two wills essential to true love as described by Tirsi.
In this respect, La Galatea exemplifies what William Empson calls the “pastoral effect” of combining the high and the low, the complex and the simple, or in his words, “the clash and reconciliation of the refined, the universal, and the low, which is the whole point of pastoral.”

 Don the Bon
As is the case with many literary masterpieces, Don Quixote represents the culmination of what had gone before, as a kind of compendium of all of the main lines of the development of fiction in 16th-century Spain, and provides at the same time the foundation for the subsequent development of the novel.
La Celestina (1499-1502), Fernando de Rojas' novel in dialogue, can in turn be seen as the culmination of the Middle Ages and initiation of the Renaissance.
A second type of poetic, idealizing novel began to flourish in Spain with the publication of La Diana, by Jorge de Montemayor, in 1559, and became as popular in the second half of the century as the novels of chivalry had been in the first, though written for a more limited, aristocratic public.

Si tenemos en cuenta que una afición por la lectura trae consigo, generalmente, una afición por la escritura, podemos afirmar, sin temor a equivocarnos, que desde un principio Cervantes veía con buenos ojos dedicarse a los menesteres de escritor.
Sea como fuere, lo cierto es que fue la necesidad en última instancia la que tuvo que empujarle a publicar esta obra; pretendió "probar suerte" con una obra a la que le había dedicado bastante tiempo.
La pregunta que necesariamente surge después de todo esto es la siguiente: ¿Por qué, si Cervantes sentía tanto aprecio por su primera obra, se pasó treinta y un años de su vida prometiendo algo que nunca llegó a cumplir?

 Miguel de Cervantes
The Galatea was published in the spring of 1585, and is frequently said to relate the story of Cervantes' courtship, and to introduce various distinguished writers under pastoral names.
There is some reason to think that he was imprisoned at Seville in 1602, but nothing positive is known of his existence between 1600 and the 8th of February 1603: at the latter date he seems to have been at Valladolid, to which city Philip III had removed the court in 1601.
In the prologue Cervantes describes his masterpiece as being "just what might be begotten in a jail"; on the strength of this passage, it has been thought that he conceived the story, and perhaps began writing it, during one of his terms of imprisonment at Seville between 1597 and 1602.

But those intrinsic characteristics that will allow her to be Galatea, and not Diana nor Fílida, those are left unmentioned, with the reticence that will become fundamental to the art of allusion-elusion, so central to the Cervantine narrative, and which I have expounded at length elsewhere.
