Résumé

In his biographies of Cervantes and Shakespeare, Luis Astrana Marín conjectured a meeting between these two authors in Valladolid (1605) on the occasion of the ratification of the Treaty of London. This improbable meeting has continued nurturing historical fictions and literary fantasies. Another crossroads between Cervantes and Shakespeare also takes place in the lost tragicomedy The History of Cardenio (1612?), attributed to John Fletcher and William Shakespeare. A reconstruction of the dialogue between these two literary geniuses is attempted here through what we know about Cardenio, as well as through its contemporary rewritings. Moreover, the encounter between Shakespeare and Cervantes is placed in the biographical and literary mirror of two major names of contemporary letters with almost identical surnames, Jorge Luis Borges and Anthony Burgess, in an attempt to prove the power of the poetic imagination to blur the boundaries between life and literature.
