Four generations had laughed over "Don Quixote" before it occurred to anyone
to ask, who and what manner of man was this Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra whose
name is on the title-page; and it was too late for a satisfactory answer to
the question when it was proposed to add a life of the author to the London
edition published at Lord Carteret's instance in 1738. All traces of the
personality of Cervantes had by that time disappeared. Any floating traditions
that may once have existed, transmitted from men who had known him, had long
since died out, and of other record there was none; for the sixteenth and
seventeenth centuries were incurious as to "the men of the time," a reproach
against which the nineteenth has, at any rate, secured itself, if it has
produced no Shakespeare or Cervantes...

This book deals with the history of Cervantes, the greatest writer in spanish
language, best known for his book Don Quixote.
