| This reevaluation of Cervantes's novella "The Two Damsels" argues that the generic hallmarks of romance disguise a minute engagement with pressing social and political concerns. the cross-dressed damsels' search for their truant love, significantly named Marco Antonio, evince the fraught connction between the vagaries of masculinity in Spain and the potency of Spain's empire. Tranformed form romance pageboys to epic Amazons, the damsels champion domestic msommitments over imperial concerns, even as they impersonate masculinity. Yet their profound disruption of the gendered social order and the text's insistent references to the literal bankruptey of Spain's Old World empire cannot ve contained by a successful romance resolution, even if Marco Antonio is successfully diverted from his imperial excursion | |
