Description
"The collection of essays may be most fruitful for those teachers, whether experienced or novice, who are exploring ways to teach Lazarillo and the Spanish picaresque in an interdisciplinary context." --Danae T. Orlins, Sixteenth Century Journal "This excellent range of essays will prove extremely useful in the teaching of Lazarillo and its widespread successors. The volume does a superb job of addressing directly a host of pedagogical questions encountered by all who teach these texts." --Nina Davis, Washington University "This slender volume contains eighteen approaches to the picaresque by eighteen different educators, as well as a thorough introduction and comprehensive materials section provided by the editor. This text is a valuable handbook for professors at all levels, teaching all types of courses." --Amy P. Alfieri, Spring Hill College
