Desperate Storytelling: Post-Romantic Elaborations of The Mock-Heroic Mode
Roger B. Salomon
Demonstrates how writers from Byron to Saul Bellow have embraced Cervantes’s vision of the artist as creative exile, born to tell tales of valor and nobility yet doomed to recognize the world’s banal reality. Forced to portray adventure in a reductive voice, these writers have immersed heroism in madness and narrative in mockery.
