"Tirant lo Blanch: A Study of Its Authorship, Principal Sources and Historical Setting" by Joseph A. Vaeth is a scholarly publication written in the early 20th century. This work serves as an analysis and critical study of the Catalan chivalric romance "Tirant lo Blanch," focusing on its authorship, historical context, and literary sources. The book promises to excavate the narrative layers and thematic elements that contribute to this significant piece of literature,
as well as scrutinize the implications of its reception in the literary canon, particularly referencing its notable mention in Cervantes' "Don Quijote." The opening of the text introduces the author's journey in understanding the romance "Tirant lo Blanch," sparked by a suggestion from Professor Todd while pursuing his doctoral studies. Vaeth recounts his exploration into the work, noting the scarcity of extensive studies prior to his own and his determination to delve into the questions surrounding authorship, sources, and its historical backdrop.
