In my Spanish literature class we're reading Don Quixote, which my professor says is a satire of the genre of medieval romances - tales of "knights errant" and such. I was wondering if anyone knew of other satire of medieval works that were written before this? I wonder: was it in the medieval psyche to mock literature? Or did this come later, with the Renaissance and the Enlightenment?
En mi clase de la literatura española estudiamos El ingenioso hidalgo Don Quijote de la Mancha. Mi profesor dice que este libro es una sátira del género de cuentos de "caballeros andantes". ¿Hay otros obras de sátira dentro la época medieval? Os pregunto: ¿reírse la gente medieval de su literatura? ¿O es este fenómena algo más tarde?
