De inversiones e ironías: La gitanilla y El amante liberal en clave bíblica

Translated title of the contribution: On inversions and ironies. A biblical reading of the little gypsy girl and the generous lover

Abstract

The Little Gypsy Girl and The Generous Lover, the two texts that inaugurate the collection of the Exemplary Novels by Cervantes, are thematically and structurally related. My reading identifies a common ground for the two novels based on the transposition and inversion of the biblical text, in general, and the topic of freedom in the biblical context, in particular. In my view, through the intertextual interplay that they convey and the subsequent ironic effect of destabilization, the two novels permeate a subtle denunciation of the social reality of the period.
