Laguna (Rutgers U.-Camden) explores Spanish novelist Miguel de Cervantes' (1547-1616) pictorial imagination within the context where it was forged, focusing on his relationship with his surrounding visual culture. She investigates how he reflected in his fiction the debates and conflicts that engrossed his contemporaries in the visual domains. Among the issues were the conceptions of beauty, the propagandistic usage of art, and the theological associations of the image. Distributed in the US by Associated University Presses.
