{"product_id":"9781557536020","title":"Caballero noble desbaratado: Autobiografia e invencion en el siglo XVI","description":"First-person narrative does not always fall under the genre of autobiography. In the centuries before the genre was defined, authors often patterned their personal narratives after prestigious discourses, such as hagiography, historiography, and the literary miscellany. Caballero noble desbaratado: AutobiografÃ­a e invenciÃ³n en el siglo XVI [Noble Knight Disrupted: Autobiography and Invention in the Sixteenth Century] analyzes several first-person narratives from Spain and the conditions of their writing and reception. It focuses on the sixteenth-century Libro de la vida y costumbres [Book of life and customs] by Alonso EnrÃ­quez de GuzmÃ¡n (1499\u003cquote\u003e“1547), the knight of the title. The study also examines the influence of other writers and the vitality of lyric poetry on both sides of the Atlantic. Although the Biblioteca de Autores EspaÃ±oles has devoted a volume to EnrÃ­quez de GuzmÃ¡n, there has never been a book-length study dedicated to this author. This book fills that gap and constitutes a valuable contribution to the study of autobiography in Spanish.\u003c\/quote\u003e","brand":"Purdue University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47049436922096,"sku":"9781557536020","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781557536020_p0.jpg?v=1763757436","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781557536020","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
