III. Resumen del artículo

En este artículo, Lisa Vollendorf analiza la participación de las mujeres con la palabra escrita en la España del siglo XVII y la relación entre la escritura de Cervantes y sus lectores.

“Marcela upsets men’s dominance over language and narrative. She is able to do so because her knowledge of the pastoral genre arms her”

“Insofar as Marcela uses her knowledge of the pastoral tradition to escape the genre’s entrapment of women as objects, Cervantes’s representation of her is one of the most ingenious representations of women in male-authored Golden Age literature" (Vollendorf).
