This chapter examines the evolution of Spanish attitudes to comic fiction during the period from 1550 to 1600 in relation to the works of Miguel de Cervantes. It analyses the historical movements of taste, manners, and thought during this period. It contends that the change and evolution of Spanish comedy was influenced by socio-genetic factors that are expressions of a collective comic mentality or mind-set. These factors consist of shared, inter-subjective thoughts such as concepts, value, and intuitive assumptions.Less

This chapter examines the role of socio-genesis, ideology, and culture in the modification of Spanish attitudes to comedy or comic fiction during the 16th century. It suggests that the evolution of attitudes to comic fiction was influenced by the emergence of a large urban middle-to-upper class acting as primary cultural consumer, the prescriptive and authoritarian spirit of the age, and its pervasive academic ethos. This chapter explores the major political events that triggered the evolution of manners and taste.Less
