The essay compares Hegel’s reading of Ariosto with Auerbach’s interpretation of Cervantes and explores why recent criticism has largely regarded these two authoritative interpretations as unsatisfactory. By tracing Hegel’s influence on the structure of Mimesis, the article examines, on the one hand, the possibility of identifying common dynamics in the reception of Ariosto and Cervantes, and, on the other, the potential to revise Auerbach’s interpretation of Cervantes in the chapter «The Enchanted Dulcinea» through principles drawn from Mimesis itself and from Auerbach’s broader work
