Hear me heathens, and wizards, and serpents of sin: all your dastardly doings are paaast! Now a holy endeavour is about to begin, when you listen to this podcaaast!
Join Tom, Dan, and Sarah in a surprisingly musical exploration of Cervantes' 17th century adventure, "Don Quixote." Beginning with an overview and a patented Paragon Marathon Quizzy, Dan takes the siblings through Cervantes' intentions and perspective in putting together his literary triumph. They discuss the Chivalric Romance--both as a genre worthy of imitation and a played-out source of early-modern cliches--and its place in literary history, and in the imaginations of avid readers, like our Man of La Mancha. Contained within: potions of bodily eruption, exasparated Sanchos, and the Sopranos finale is great, actually.
Whithersoever they blow, onward to glory we go!
