Biogenetics and Autobiography: Extracting Sephardic DNA from Cervantes’ Works
October 25, 2019 @ 11:00 am - 12:30 pm
FreeJewish Humor in . . . post-Expulsion Spain?
Yiddish humor is well-known. But Professor Kenneth Brown researches the “DNA” of Sephardic humor to the most unlikely of places: Cervantes’s famous novel of 1605, Don Quixote of La Mancha.
A widely-published scholar of medieval romance philology, Professor Brown (University of Calgary) will present his findings at the closing event of the XII Florida Cervantes Symposium
