<br/><br/> This book explains how Cervantes took advantage of the moral aspects of neo-stoicism and skepticism to remove the authority of the romances of chivalry, which was a popular genre during his time. By comparing and contrasting current moral systems to the moral theories of Cervantes's time, the book also explains why his strategy, which would have been instantly recognizable during the period, is no longer effective.
