«The Relation of the Poet to Daydreaming» in On Creativity and the Unconscious, trans. I. F. Grant Duff (New York: Harper, 1958), pp. 47-48. Nancy K. Miller cites this passage in an essay which is itself «a protest against the division of labor that grants men the world and women love» («Emphasis Added», p. 40 and p. 47). The miscellany produced ad hoc by the characters in the Persiles (IV, 1) precisely reflects this division of labor; the novel itself protests it. (N. from the A.)

The Chinese puzzle simile belongs to George Northup Tyler, An Introduction to Spanish Literature (Chicago: Univ. of Chicago, 1971). Osuna's structural conclusions are in «El olvido», p. 61. As for the relationship of the interpolated stories to the main plot, Alban K. Forcione sees them as analogues «reenacting the cycle of disaster and restoration against the background of the Christian myth of fall and redemption» (Christian Romance, p. 108). His exegetical reading, though excellent, must ignore at least one central episode that does not reenact that cycle of «near-death» and salvation: Sosa Coitiño's death over unrequited love.

See Ciriaco Morón Arroyo, «Cooperative Mimesis: Don Quixote and Sancho Panza», Diacritics 8 (1978), 83; see also Arthur Efron's «Bearded Waiting Women, Lovely Lethal Female Piratemen: Sexual Boundary Shifts in Don Quixote, Part II», Cervantes, 2 (1982), 155-64. Efron's suggestion that readers attend to the body-text relationships in Cervantes may be most fruitfully applied to the Persiles, a text rich in imagery of birthing, sexual blurring, and disease.
