How Don Q. Stood at Bay

K. Prichard

How Don Q. Stood at Bay

This novelet features Don Quebranta Huesos, a grim Spanish criminal who is «vicious toward the rich and evil but kind to the poor and good» (Steinbrunner and Penzler). Don Q. may have helped inspire Johnston McCulley's «Zorro» character. Indeed, there are so many similarities that Douglas Fairbanks turned the Don Q. character into the film sequel to «The Mark of Zorro» – as «Don Q., Son of Zorro» – in 1925.

He rejected Victorian prudishness and promoted the idea of sexual liberation in a Utopia he wished to see take form. This led to works that were viewed as obscene and pornographic by both literary critics and government officials alike, in what was still a...
