Susan Byrne (World Languages and Cultures) has published "Sight, Hearing and Higher Truths in Cervantine Narrative Structures," in La vida como obra de arte: Essays in Memory of John Jay Allen.
Byrne's article looks at the three senses Renaissance Neoplatonists identified as unique, incorporeal conduits leading to philosophical or theological divine truth, in their parallel role for the imagistic construction of verisimilitude or narrative truth by Spanish author Miguel de Cervantes in three novels: La Galatea, Don Quijote, and Los trabajos de Persiles y Sigismunda. The volume of invited articles by Cervantes' scholars is dedicated to John Jay Allen, a distinguished figure in the field of Cervantine studies.
