The Living Art of Miguel de Cervantes


A three-day public celebration of the 400th anniversary of the publication of Don Quijote de la Mancha, perhaps the best-known literary work in the Spanish language. The commemoration highlights the broad influence of Cervantes’s work on later writers and artists who find themselves reinterpreting the novel for their own creative purposes, and encourages public engagement with Cervantes’s novel in new and creative ways.

Organized by Donald Gilbert-Santamaría (Spanish Studies). Sponsored by the Simpson Center, the Division of Spanish and Portuguese Studies, and the Center for Western European Studies, as well as Safeco Insurance and the Embassy of Spain.
