Summary:

This first critical analysis of the Catalan novel of chivalry, Tirant lo Blanch (1490), elucidates the sophisticated plan that lies behind its composition.By breaking down the 487-chapter story into two fundamental narrative threads -- the military and erotic exploits of the hero -- Aylward reveals the two-pronged narrative scheme that supports.
