Criticism of Cervantes's poetry has been conditioned by theoretical and esthetic presuppositions which have yet to surpass the prejudices forged by his contemporaries and apparently consecrated by the words of the author of Don Quixote. A biased reading of some of his metapoetic affirmations and the comparison established between verse and prose have distorted critical and interpretative perspectives, which can be corrected only by reconsidering three factors: the interposition of characters in the fictitious enunciation of most of the poems; the revision of the esthetic and communicative problematics posed by these texts and their narrative frame; and finally, the inclusion of Cervantine poetic writing as part of the wider process of poetic and esthetic renovation that occurred at the beginning of the seventeenth century.
