					<description><![CDATA[I  recently read your review of Edith Grossman&#039;s book, Why Translation Matters.
It certainly does. 

Did it ever occur to you, or even Edith Grossman, that Cervantes was telling us something else beside the crazy story of a haughty nobleman who recruited a simple peasant, riding a donkey, to be his squire, hoping to bring back the days of chivalry? 

Did it ever occur to you that Cervantes had an argument with the aristocrats of his day, who sent him to prison because of his opaque purchases of wheat for the Arrmada and that he retaliated in his famous book, by punning the title in a foreign language. English,  about a Don Quixote, DonkeyHaughty, a haughty donkey, and got away with it, to this day?

I don&#039;t know Edith Grossman&#039;s, e/mail, perhaps you can forward this to her so that we can talk about my observation. He was going to make his squire, governor of an island, insula, in Latin, as a reward.  Did he mean, England? Or was that a reference to the Duke of Parma, who failed the Armada, way above the head of Sancho Panza?

I have made an intense study of Shakespeare&#039;s Sonnets and found some very important puns of the same type by the English Cervantes, Shakespeare.
