Description:


How should we read a text that does not exist, or present a play
the manuscript of which is lost and the identity of whose author
cannot be established for certain?


Such is the enigma posed by Cardenio ? a play
performed in England for the first time in 1612 or 1613 and
attributed forty years later to Shakespeare (and Fletcher). Its
plot is that of a ?novella? inserted into Don Quixote,
a work that circulated throughout the major countries of Europe,
where it was translated and adapted for the theatre. In England,
Cervantes? novel was known and cited even before it was
translated in 1612 and had inspired Cardenio.


But there is more at stake in this enigma. This was a time when,
thanks mainly to the invention of the printing press, there was a
proliferation of discourses. There was often a reaction when it was
feared that this proliferation would become excessive, and many
writings were weeded out. Not all were destined to survive, in
particular plays for the theatre, which, in many cases, were never
published. This genre, situated at the bottom of the literary
hierarchy, was well suited to the existence of ephemeral works.
However, if an author became famous, the desire for an archive of
his works prompted the invention of textual relics, the restoration
of remainders ruined by the passing of time or, in order to fill in
the gaps, in some cases, even the fabrication of forgeries. Such
was the fate of Cardenio in the eighteenth century.


Retracing the history of this play therefore leads one to wonder
about the status, in the past, of works today judged to be
canonical. In this book the reader

I'm very pleased with the purchase of this bag
Color: Pink
The bag is made of a very subtle pink, supple leather. It seems to be of good quality and I hope that over time, with wear, this turns out to be true. It's a good size -- not too small, not huge, but just enough to fit plenty of necessities for a day or evening out. The style is sleek and uncomplicated, making it versatile enough to be worn on casual days as well as a night out. The top is secured with a smooth-running zipper that keeps everything safe yet easily accessible. The shoulder strap is adjustable to various lengths including one that is very long which is my preference. The handles are wrapped in matching leather and very comfortable. The only improvements I'd make to the bag is the addition of brass feet on the bottom and I'd make the zipper pocket on the outside back of the bag slightly wider so my phone would fit into it. Overall, I like it very much and have already recommended it to family and friends.
