Abstract:
"Archipelagoes" examines insularity as the space for adventure in the Spanish book of chivalry, much like the space of the forest in French chivalric romance. In this innovative work, Simone Pinet explores the emergence of insularity as a privileged place for the location of adventure in Spanish literature in tandem with the cartographic genre of the isolario. Pinet looks closely at "Amadis de Gaula" and the "Liber insularum archipelagi" as the first examples of these genres. Both isolario and chivalric romance ("libros de caballerias") make of the islan.
