Abstract

We read Cormac McCarthy as a novelist of the Baroque of the Southwest paying special attention to syntax, vocabulary, and intertextuality. The bulk of the critical attention on McCarthy is anglocentric. We cover the influence of Spanish literature, mainly Cervantes, in the Border Trilogy. This study focuses on three aspects: the rape of the young man, the dueñas, and the character Quijana/Quesada.
