12. ● X is a Spanish novel by Miguel de Cervantes. Published in two parts, in 1605 and 1615, X is the most influential work
of literature from the Spanish Golden Age and the entire Spanish literary canon. A founding work of Western
literature, it is often labeled "the first modern novel” and is sometimes considered the best literary work ever
written
● When first published X was usually interpreted as a comic novel. After the French Revolution, it was better known
for its central ethic that individuals can be right while society is quite wrong and seen as disenchanting. In the 19th
century, it was seen as a social commentary, but no one could easily tell "whose side Cervantes was on". Many
critics came to view the work as a tragedy in which X's idealism and nobility are viewed by the post-chivalric world as
insane, and are defeated and rendered useless by common reality. By the 20th century, the novel had come to
occupy a canonical space as one of the foundations of modern literature.
