Summary:

Conchita Herdman Marianella's book develops the words "Dueña" and" Doncella" in their Cervantine context.The book offers the two sides of this character type in pre-Cervantine usage, from the tendency of the dueña or doncella to appear as a lady-in-waiting, damsel in distress, or other high-level intermediary and to behave in patterns.
