Abstract

53
This article tries to examine some problems arisen by the reading and interpretation of Quevedo's El Buscón. Although we lack indisputable information about the date in which this work was written, Jauralde believes that the work was written around 1604 and assures that there is not a direct testimony nor indirect proving that Quevedo revised El Buscón later. In his opinion, «the originality of this work compared with El Lazarillo or El Guzmán de Alfarache rests on the ideologic attitude more than on a formal one». After summarizing the process of transmission of the text, he analyses other aspects such as its being in the picaresque genre, its structure, the narrative rithm and the different critic inerpretations that El Buscón has received.
