El ideal imperial en la "Numancia" de Cervantes

[Machine translation] Against what Cervantism had judged to be the obvious purpose of La Numancia, that is, the exaltation of the Spanish empire at its time of greatest expansion, a large group of voices has emerged since the seventies of the last century until today. This paper reviews these critical positions, to confront them, on the one hand, with the traditional interpretation and, on the other, with the textual statement, with the purpose of outlining the image of the Spanish Empire in the Cervantine tragedy against the background of the author's life experience.
