摘要:Italian culture plays a particularly relevant role in Cervantes’s literary development, leaving clear marks throughout his works, from La Galatea to Persiles. The influence of readings from Italian authors is here studied from the perspective of the dialogue they establish with the texts that serve as grounds for the new work, concurrently respecting and exceeding them. Although Ariosto and Tasso are the authors most often mentioned, other names from several domains have come to light in more recent studies.
