Book excerpt: Traces the history of chivalric fiction in Western Europe, from early Celtic tales to the conflict between romance and realism in Don Quixote. Looks at similar rhetorical devices in the works of Chretien de Troyes and in Don Quixote, and provides a new formula for reading Don Quixote, one that reinterprets the question of what makes or unmakes a hero, what is free will in relation to destiny, and how the language of women differs from that of men.
