Summary
"From Jonathan Swift to Thomas Jefferson, those looking to propose and justify exceptions to social and political norms turned to Cervantes's notoriously mad comic hero as a model, yielding an explosion of imitations of Quixote in fiction and polemical writing; this book examines the exceptionalist character of Quixote and tells the story of how quixotism became political and politicized"--
