This volume contains several essays that adopt as a common viewpoint a reflection on the concept of 'new models' that arose in Spanish society in the early twentieth century. The studies cover different aspects of culture - from fashion to literature, from music to law, as well as pedagogy - trying to account, from different perspectives, for the creative ferment of one of the most challenging and changeable periods in Spanish history.--Translation of publisher's description.

«El lector ha cobrado un afecto extraordinario por este don Quijote, bueno, inteligente, simpático, honrado, pero a quien su chifladura ha convertido en un arcaísmo viviente, que sólo tiene validez ante lo imaginado o lo fingido y que se desmorona ante la realidad. El lector ya juzgará si hay en ello o no una ejemplaridad y una lección para los quiméricos y fantasiosos, es decir, para los quijotes» Martín de Riquer
