Olvidado Rey Gudú (1996) is the most original and complex contribution to the narrative trend in the Spanish language that during the 20th century recovers medieval and golden chivalric material at the request of the lyric novel or the bildungsroman. Under the aesthetics of the marvelous, Ana María Matute returns to motifs and characters rooted in universal folklore, Old Testament literature, the Arthurian romance and the Spanish chivalric romance, finally linking with the renewed topic of the manuscript found and read – Cervantine and Macondian – that conveys the metalepsis and guarantees the timeless reading of the work.
