Novel without Infobox (auto list): many novel articles do not have an infobox - and need one (auto generated list) - may need expansion of article too Our Collaboration Department is continuing with one more title Adam Bede for the current month. Get collaborating on the article and also look at nominating other titles to be considered. The new article Fictional locations now exists - as a companion article to Fictional characters - but it is still a stub and could do with plenty more imput to improve it. Another new article A Taste for Death (P.D. James novel)‎ now exists - but it is also still a stub and could do with plenty more imput to improve it. A new Infobox exists to support the growing number of "Short Story" articles that are tagged as part of the project - take a look at it and comment on it's talk page. I would suggest we use it for "Short Stories and "Novelettes" and leave the main "Book infobox" for "Novels" and "Novellas". New hitlists added to the main worklist. List of literary works with eponymous heroes List of literary works with eponymous heroines Pages that only exist as redirects: Men at Arms changes

This article lacks an infobox, {{Infobox Book}} which is part of the standard display of novel information developed at Wikipedia:WikiProject Novels and also Wikipedia:WikiProject Books. You can help by copying the "source code" into the attached article, and filling in the information yourself, or by providing the following information here on the Talk page so that someone else can construct the box:

[edit] Don Quixote

Miguel Cervantes, author of the great classic, Don Quixote, said that his book was inspired by Tractado 3 in which Lazarillo serves an eccentric old squire who thought he had been a great knight.

I doubt this. Can somebody reference this? -- Error 01:26, 11 May 2004 (UTC)

Miguel Cervantes said Don Quixote was inspired by Tractado 3 in which Lazarillo serves an eccentric old squire who thought he had been a great knight.

I find a study of the influence of Lazarillo on Cervantes, but it doesn't mention such a direct acknowledgement.

However, I find that at least someone thinks that Lope de Vega would have a direct or indirect influence:

Bibliography: López Navío, José: I. "El entremés de los romances, sátira contra Lope de Vega, fuente de inspiración de los primeros capítulos del Quijote". II. "Cide Hamete Benengeli: Lope de Vega". III. "Los d os autores del Quijote: primer autor, Cide Hamete (Lope), segundo autor (Cervantes)". ACer, 8 (1959-60), 151-239.

• "Vista de Toledo" por Lazarillo de Tormes

This is an impressionistic comment that is not very relevant. --Error 00:25, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)

• • Agreed. It's pretty irrelevant, so I removed it again. - Taxman ^Talk 11:18, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Advice

The following information should be added: We have four ancient editions of this book (Alcalá, Amberes...), Rosa Navarro Duran (I have requested (and submitted) the creation of an article with her name) has investigated about the authory and she has found that its author was Alfonso de Valdes.

As far as I know nobody supports that theory besides her. Anyway, you can edit the article yourself.--Rataube 17:35, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
