■ This collection honors Adrienne Laskier Martín’s eminent scholarly trajectory. The chapters encompass three prolific areas that have partially defined her work throughout her ongoing career: humor and the burlesque, eroticism, and animal studies. We have specifically chosen sexuality and gender as thematic axes for these applied Cervantine readings since their broad reach allows for an innovative range of studies in tune with Adrienne L. Martín’s contributions to early modern literary studies.
