On the occasion of the 400th anniversary of the publication of Miguel de Cervantes’ collection of short stories Novelas ejemplares (1613), the Hispanic Studies section of the department of Romance Languages at Penn has organized a one-day conference on February 16 to reimagine with Cervantes the formal and performative promise of medieval and early modern cultures of exemplarity. All talks will be in English, and there will be an exhibition of Medieval manuscripts and Early Modern editions from Spain including works by Cervantes and Lope de Vega, courtesy of the Rare Book and Manuscript Library.
Confirmed speakers include: Marina Brownlee (Princeton), Roger Chartier (Penn), Rita Copeland (Penn), Juan Escourido (Penn), Michael Gerli (University of Virginia), Jacques Lezra (NYU), Marla Pagan-Mattos (Haverford College), Michael Solomon (Penn), and Ronald Surtz (Princeton).
