Abstract


Sansón Carrasco, who appears in the Quixote of 1615, is in my opinion, a key character, as a result of the publication of Avellaneda’s apocryphal Quixote. This article argues for the hypothesis that in Sansón Carrasco, Cervantes personifies Pedro Liñán de Riaza, who is in fact the so much searched Avellaneda, the author of the other Quixote, novel which «obliged» Cervantes to write the Second Part of what has become his most important work.
