This Symposium follows in the wake of the 1st Cervantes Symposium of the North East, which took place in New York City in November 2015, as a forum for scholarly production and discussion. Our aim is to provide a space where Cervantes scholars, largely from the North East of the United States, could meet to discuss and share new research and approaches to Cervantes’s work. By creating a small Symposium our hope is to generate a valuable dialogue and vivid discussions among scholars.
