Commonly known as the Generation of '98, these writers turned Spain's military defeat at the hands of an emerging American empire into a moral victory. Christopher Britt Arredondo uses the term Quixotism to denote a premodern heroic ideal centered on the figure of Don Quixote as he explores these writers. Here, he shows how Ganivet turns Quixote into a spiritual conquistador; Unamuno, into a tragic messiah; Maeztu, into a smiling priest; and Ortega, into a paternalistic master. Quixotism is a new critical category of political and cultural relevance, not only for fin-de-siècle Spain and the National-Catholic Spain of the Franco era, but also the democratic, postmodern Spain of today.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"State University of New York Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43060482637899,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":1317.39,"currency_code":"THB","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0641\/0023\/7387\/files\/9780791462560-1.jpg?v=1787473715","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.co.th\/products\/9780791462560","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Thailand","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
