• Resumen

  • The present article studies Mateo Alemán’s authorial persona in both his nonliterary and his literary work. Using the notion of the author function, we will discuss continuities and fissures between the Informe secreto and Guzmán de Alfarache. In doing so, we shall explore the ways in which the construction of the figure of the author manifests itself beyond the fictional/factual divide.
