List of works influenced by Don Quixote explained
The novel Spanish; Castilian: '''[[Don Quixote]]''' (; Spanish; Castilian: {{audio|Don Quijote-pronunciation-es 2.ogg|Don Quijote, Spanish; Castilian: El ingenioso hidalgo don Quixote de la Mancha) was written by the Spanish author Miguel de Cervantes. Published in two volumes a decade apart (in 1605 and 1615), Don Quixote is one of the most influential works of literature from the Spanish Golden Age in the Spanish literary canon. As a founding work of modern Western literature, it regularly appears high on lists of the greatest works of fiction ever published.[1] It has been the inspiration for a wide array of cultural adaptations.
Influence on literature
Drama
- 1612 The Knight of the Burning Pestle by Francis Beaumont has been described as "the first English imitation of Don Quixote".[2]
- 1613 Cardenio, a lost, presumably Shakespearean play, is believed to be based on an episode in Part One of Don Quixote.[3]
- 1694 The Comical History of Don Quixote is a comic play by Thomas D'Urfey with music and songs by composers including Henry Purcell. The play was written in three parts, adding up to more than seven hours of playing time. It is seldom if ever performed today, and never at its full length.
- 1734 Don Quixote in England by Henry Fielding was written in 1728 as an attack on Prime Minister Robert Walpole.[4]
- 1785–1787 Don Chisciotti e Sanciu Panza by Giovanni Meli is a Sicilian parody of Don Quixote.

Novels and other literature
- 1614 Spanish; Castilian: {{Interlanguage link|Avellaneda's Quixote|es|Quijote de Avellaneda|lt=Segundo tomo del ingenioso hidalgo don Quijote de la Mancha|WD=Q5823027 by pseudonymous Alonso Fernández de Avellaneda. An unauthorized sequel to the first volume by Cervantes.
- 1742 Joseph Andrews by Henry Fielding notes on the title page that it is "written in Imitation of the Manner of Cervantes, Author of Don Quixote".
- 1752 The Female Quixote (1752), a novel by Charlotte Lennox. A major influence on Jane Austen's Northanger Abbey.
- 1759–1767 The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman by Laurence Sterne was influenced by Cervantes' novel in several ways, including its genre-defying structure and the Don Quixote-like character of Uncle Toby. Intentional nods include Sterne's own description of his characters' "Cervantic humour" and naming Parson Yorick's horse 'Rocinante'.
- 1760-1762 The Life and Adventures of Sir Launcelot Greaves by Tobias Smollett. Smollett shows the influence of Don Quixote in many of his novels (e.g. the character of Lismahago in Humphry Clinker), but this is his "own explicit version of the D[on] Q[uixote] story." Smollett had also produced his own translation of Don Quixote in 1755.[5]
- 1773 The Spiritual Quixote by Richard Graves is a satire on Methodism.
- 1791 Anonymous [Elizabeth Purbeck and Jane Purbeck]. William Thornborough, the benevolent Quixote. In four volumes. London: George, George, John and James Robinson, 1791.[6]
- 1797 [Elizabeth Purbeck and Jane Purbeck]. The history of Sir George Warrington; or the political Quixote. By the author of The female Quixote. In three volumes. London: John Bell, 1797.[7] (2nd ed. with corrected attribution came out that same year.)[8]
- 1856 Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert was heavily influenced by Don Quixote.[9] [10] In the view of the critic Howard Mancing, "of all the many female incarnations of Don Quixote, Emma [Bovary] is the most original, profound and influential. Flaubert's admiration for Cervantes knew no bounds. It has been suggested that it was his reading of Don Quixote in childhood which convinced Flaubert to become a novelist rather than a dramatist." In Madame Bovary, the heroine, like Don Quixote, tries to escape from the tedium of provincial life through books, in Bovary's case women's romances and historical novels.[11]
- 1869 The Idiot by Dostoyevsky. Prince Myshkin, the title character of the novel, was explicitly modeled on Don Quixote.[12]
- 1874 The Three-Cornered Hat, by Pedro Antonio de Alarcón, has been compared with Don Quijote.[13]
- 1881 The Posthumous Memoirs of Brás Cubas (original, Memórias Póstumas de Brás Cubas), by Machado de Assis, uses many narrative techniques used by Cervantes in the Quixote. Although the author is also influenced by Stern (Tristram Shandy, a novel that also owes a great deal to the Quixote), the narrator in the novel, Brás Cubas, also makes frequent allusion to Cervantes and The Quixote. It is considered one of the greatest Latin American novels due to its innovation, avant-guard techniques, and proto- magic realism elements. Due to the limited prominence of the Portuguese language from the time it was published until the late 20th century, only in the past 30 years the novel has received broader appreciation and appropriate translations for a literary work of this stature.
- 1917-1919 (published posthumously in 1948) "The Truth About Sancho Panza" by Franz Kafka imagines Sancho as Author.
- 1914 Vida de Don Quijote y Sancho (usually translated into English as Our Lord Don Quixote) by Miguel de Unamuno often perceived one of the earliest works applying existential elements to Don Quixote. The book, on Unamuno's own admission, is of mixed genre with elements of personal essay, philosophy and fiction.
- 1927 The Return of Don Quixote by G. K. Chesterton tells the tale of the librarian Michael Herne, who, after performing as the lead actor in a medieval theater play, finds contemporaneous realities unacceptable and decides to carry on with medieval costume, then gets elected to a dictatorial real kingship, but disappoints the rich who helped him get there, and then has to roam the country in the fashion of Don Quixote, since persecuted by the police after losing his short-lived power.
- 1939 "Pierre Menard, Author of the Quixote" by Jorge Luis Borges is a short story about a fictional 20th-century writer who re-authors Don Quixote. According to the story, "The text of Cervantes and that of Menard are verbally identical, but the second is almost infinitely richer."
- 1949 Silverlock by John Myers Myers The novel's settings and characters, aside from the protagonist, are all drawn from history, mythology, and other works of literature.
- 1960 The Art of the Novel by Milan Kundera extensively references and extols Cervantes' Don Quixote as the first, and perhaps best, novel. Kundera writes that his own novels are an homage to Cervantes.
- 1966 The Order of Things by Michel Foucault. Quixote's confusion in Cervantes' novel plays an important part in Foucault's book, serving as an illustration of the transition to a new configuration of thought in the late sixteenth century.
- 1982 Monsignor Quixote by Graham Greene is a pastiche of Cervantes' novel. Greene's character Monsignor Quixote regards himself as a descendant of Don Quixote.

- 2011-2021 The Expanse, a series of science fiction novels by James S. A. Corey, features main character James Holden, who is often compared to Don Quixote for his idealism and chivalry. In the first book, Leviathan Wakes, Holden names his spaceship, the Rocinante, after Don Quixote's horse.[14]
- 2009 Going Bovine by Libba Bray, a YA novel about a 16-year-old high school student with "transmissible spongiform encephalopathy" (mad cow disease) and contains many allusions to “Quixote” in plot, theme and characters.

Paintings and illustrations
Don Quixote has inspired many illustrators, painters and sculptors, including Gustave Doré, Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dalí and Antonio de la Gandara. The French artist Honoré Daumier produced 29 paintings and 49 drawings based on the book and characters of Don Quixote, starting with an exhibition at the 1850 Paris Salon, which would later inspire Pablo Picasso. In 1863, Gustave Doré produced a large set of drawings based on Don Quixote. On 10 August 1955, Pablo Picasso drew an illustration of Don Quixote and Sancho Panza for the journal weekly Les Lettres françaises (week of 18–24 August 1955), which quoted from the Daumier caricature of a century before. Widely reproduced, today it is the iconic image used by the Spanish government to promote Cervantes and Don Quixote.
