Abstract
El análisis imagológico de los estereotipos nacionales presentes en el Persiles llama la atención sobre la peculiaridad de los personajes de Antonio y su familia, los «españoles bárbaros». Este trabajo postula que su barbarie no procede del contagio de los habitantes de la Isla Bárbara ni se circunscribe a este espacio septentrional, sino que más bien se relaciona con la imagen negativa del español que tenían los europeos de la época: la Leyenda Negra.
The imagological analysis of the national stereotypes present in Cervantes’ Persiles calls attention to the peculiar characters of Antonio and his family, the «barbarous Spaniards». Their barbarism does not stem from a contagion by the inhabitants of the Isla Bárbara and does not limit itself to this northern space. Rather, it is related to the negative image of the Spanish character that had the Europeans of the time, the Black Legend.
