Description: A timely meditation on the key role the humanities must play in dissecting and combatting all forms of disinformation. Castillo and Egginton offer a tour-de-force commentary on politics and popular culture through critical comparative readings of Western cultural texts of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries and those of the Spanish Golden Age.
Review Quotes: "Castillo and Egginton are state-of-the-art readers of early modern Spanish literature and diligent investigators, well versed in theory. Castillo and Egginton recognize, eloquently and convincingly, that the baroque sensibility of 17th-century Spain - self-consciously obscure - can help to explain, or further complicate, the ups and downs of today's world and media. Highly recommended." Choice
