La castidad de la doncella: erotismo y poesía en Cervantes

Abstract

The question of eroticism on Cervantes' poetry is a tricky point, which has to be analyzed in the light of the editorial works of the author, its poetical bet in a series of key parliaments, and the revision of some spicy elements in his poems, as well as a brief confrontation to contemporary poetry. To sum up, Cervantes' eroticism (esthetic, moral, and sexual) is a question of genre which has no space on his poetry, so that its discard and its reflections about the subject are significant.
