More than a theme, memory is a system of understanding in Cervantes's world, resulting from the major social, religious, and economic changes that epitomized Renaissance humanist culture and that informed the transition to modernity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003ci\u003eQuixotic Memories \u003c\/i\u003eoffers insight into the plurality and complexity of memory and demonstrates how it plays an exceptionally critical role in Cervantes's \u003ci\u003eDon Quixote\u003c\/i\u003e.
