Description:

Capturing the Pícaro in Words discusses the framing of the transient marginals of early modern Madrid in the literary pícaro. Juxtaposing the perceptions of constables, shopkeepers and criminals to key literary representations, it reveals the displacement, cultural homogenization, and disenfranchisement produced by the picaresque
