My one complaint is a fairly obvious one considering my particular interests, and I'm certain that the author's response would emphasize the need to restrict the book's length to between 150 and 200 pages: there is little to no mention of literary realism's prehistory, a prehistory where the Spanish influence is, in my mind, crucial.

I think the linguistic innovations of Fernando de Rojas' play/novel in dialogue (it's a hard book to sort genre-wise), the rise and fall of the chivalric romance and its heroes (from Amadís and company through to Don Quijote and Sancho Panza), and the introduction of the autobiographical, first person narrative mode in the picaresque genre, together established a set of important formal paradigms for realist literature that paved the way for the French and English authors she discusses. I also think the wide popularity in translation of these books speaks to their influence on a continental level.
