Published in Returning to Eden

Keywords: Castillo Solórzano, Ginés de Pasamonte, La tía fingida, Mújica Láinez, Quevedo.

The study establishes how, as a result of a misreading of the episode of Ginés de Pasamonte in Don Quixote, a state of opinion was born that was later reflected in various relevant literary texts of the time, in poems by Quevedo, also in his Buscón or in the text of Avellaneda. This study also analyzes the presence of the Bracamonte family in comedies by Alonso de Castillo Solórzano, in the picaresque novel by Gregorio Guadaña and in La tía fingida, an anonymous work whose presence of this family is very significant in order to affirm or question the authorship of the work by Miguel de Cervantes. In the 20th century, Manuel Mújica Láinez associated the Bracamonte family with the rogues through the protagonist of his historical novel D. Galaz de Buenos Aires, halfway between the Lazarillesque genre and that of the novels of chivalry.
