| Abstract: | This paper focuses on the importance of the Don Quixote edition sponsored by Lord Carteret in London in 1738. It has been stressed frequently that this edition included the first biography of Cervantes ever written, by the Spanish scholar Gregorio Mayans y Siscar. For the first time also, Cervantes’ work was edited with all the honors of a classic. The aim of this paper is to show how the Lord Carteret edition contributed to a fundamental change in the perception of Cervantes: from being a writer of popular literature, Cervantes became the paradigm of criticism in the way that criticism was understood by the Enlightenment. |
