Abstract

The work of Mateo Alemán was composed in a time when Humanism was beginning to be replaced by the Humanities and by the predominance of the vulgar language. However, Alemán’s awareness of modernity, his confidence in education, his attention to grammar and his rationalism are related to sixteenth-century Hispanic Humanism. These ideas partly justify the materials with which he gave shape to his works and his idea of an autonomous, yet committed to the reform of the individual and society, fiction.
