"The Lady Cornelia" is a captivating tale from "The Exemplary Novels of Cervantes," which explores themes of honor, deception, and the complexities of human relationships. The story unfolds in Bologna, where two Spanish gentlemen, Don Juan de Gamboa and Don Antonio de Isunza, find themselves entangled in a series of unexpected events. The narrative begins with Don Juan inadvertently receiving a newborn child, wrapped in luxurious garments, from a mysterious woman in the dead of night. Concurrently, Don Antonio encounters a distressed lady, Cornelia Bentivoglio, who seeks refuge in their home. Cornelia, a noblewoman of great beauty, reveals her plight: she has been secretly married to Alfonso d''Este, the Duke of Ferrara, and has just given birth to his child. However, her brother, Lorenzo Bentivoglio, unaware of the marriage, is in pursuit, believing her honor has been compromised. As the story progresses, Don Juan and Don Antonio become protectors of Cornelia and her child, navigating the delicate situation with discretion and valor. The narrative intricately weaves the themes of mistaken identity, familial duty, and the pursuit of justice, culminating in a resolution that restores honor and reveals the true nature of the characters involved. Cervantes masterfully combines elements of suspense and romance, creating a rich tapestry that reflects the societal norms and values of the time.

Widely recognized as the first novel in European literature, this edition is an adaptation of the work written in two parts in Spanish by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, translated by John Ormsby, and abridged and edited by Mabel F. Wharton, with dozens of footnotes to explain unfamiliar terms. Now younger students can enjoy the adventures of Don Quixote and Sancho Panza, his squire, featuring the crazy knight on his broken-down old plow-horse, in his rusty armor, his helmet mended with bits of green ribbon, and portly Sancho, faithful, grumbling when hungry, cheerful when fed, shrewd and talkative, jogging behind him on Dapple, his sturdy mule, "the light of his eyes."

The story follows the adventures of an hidalgo named Mr. Alonso Quixano who reads so many chivalric romances that he loses his sanity and decides to set out to revive chivalry, undo wrongs, and bring justice to the world, under the name Don Quixote de la Mancha. He recruits a simple farmer, Sancho Panza, as his squire, who often employs a unique, earthy wit in dealing with Don Quixote''s rhetorical orations on antiquated knighthood. Don Quixote, in the first part of the book, does not see the world for what it is and prefers to imagine that he is living out a knightly story. Throughout the novel, Cervantes uses such literary techniques as realism, metatheatre, and intertextuality.
