signalled a renaissance of English drama.

and television's I Love Lucy (1951-1957). He was an innovator in the field of
cinematography and is credited with the invention of the unchained
camera technique. The unchained camera was a revolution in early film as

around the set. Because it was no longer confined to one position,

X is a Spanish novel by Miguel de Cervantes. Published in two parts, in 1605 and

and the entire Spanish literary canon. As a founding work of modern Western
literature, it regularly appears high on lists of the greatest works of fiction
ever published, such as the Bokklubben World Library collection that cites it as
the authors' choice for the "best literary work ever written". The story follows
the adventures of a noble (hidalgo) who reads so many chivalric romances that
he loses his sanity and decides to become a knight-errant (caballero andante),
reviving chivalry and serving his country. He recruits a simple farmer, as his
squire, who often employs a unique, earthy wit in dealing with it's rhetorical
orations on antiquated knighthood. He, 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.
