About the PlaywrightConrad Seiler (ca. 1897–1960) was an American playwright active from the 1920s to 1950s.

In addition to The Wonderful Adventures of Don Quixote, Seiler wrote a number of children’s plays, including The Clown Who Ran Away, The Clown and His Circus, The Clown Out West, The Princess and the Swineherd (a collaboration with his wife, actress Gwendolen Logan), End of the Rainbow, Let’s Go to the Moon, and Hurray for the Circus! He also wrote many farces and comedies, including Problem Father, Why I Am a Bachelor, Bachelor’s Wife, The Stronger Sex, Our Girls, What’s Wrong with the Girls, Harmony House, and Good Night, Caroline, among others.

Seiler wrote several plays—including the satirical Censored (1936), which both tested and mocked the limits of acceptable speech of the time, and the social drama Sweet Land (1937), about Southern sharecroppers attempting to unionize black farmworkers—under the auspices of the Federal Theatre Project, a Depression-era Work Progress Administration program that helped creators and performers continue their artistic work. The FTP’s funding was discontinued following accusations from the Dies Committee on Un-American Activities that the resulting plays promoted Communism and racial integration.

About the AuthorMiguel de Cervantes Saavedra (1547–1616) was a Spanish writer of the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. A contemporary of Shakespeare, he led a colorful life worthy of its own novel, suffering serious injuries in battle before being captured by pirates, enslaved, and eventually ransomed; marrying one woman and fathering a daughter by another within the same year; being imprisoned for irregularities in his accounts while working as a tax collector; and writing poetry, plays, short stories, and novels throughout.

Though he wrote other well-regarded works, his best known and most commercially successful was Don Quixote (published in two volumes in 1605 and 1615), widely acknowledged as the first modern novel and so internationally influential that the protagonist’s name has become an adjective in many languages. The picaresque work turned the notion of chivalric romance popular in the preceding centuries on its head, infusing well-known tropes with humor, humanism, and realism. It is a work rare in its continued relevance and accessibility.
