Is the pícaro, the roguish hero of early modern Spanish adventure fiction, a real man? What position does he hold in the gender hierarchy of his fictional social context? Why is the pícara so nonfemale? What effect has her gender constitution on her fictional social context? In terms of a gendered subject, the picaresque figure has hardly been analyzed so far. Although scholars have recognized it as a transgressive and subversive model, the queer effect of the figure is yet to be examined. With regard to the categories of class, generation, topography, and gender, the contributions assembled in this volume explore Spanish, French, English, and German novels narratologically from the perspective of culture and gender theories.
