Reviews

In looking back on Cervantine cultural criticism, we find that there is an unspoken invitation to consider how our current generation of Cervantistas will be evaluated by scholars later in the twenty-first century. In the meantime, we can appreciate the creative and innovative approaches in Goodbye Eros, knowing that these erudite essays will surely inspire similarly provocative work in the future. -- Sherry Velasco * <em>Renaissance and Reformation, Vol. 43, No. 4</em> *
