This essay develops some thoughts about the much discussed issue of the genre of Buscón, as treated in several editions and studies, that show the necessary dialogue of ecdotics and hermeneutics. The purpose of die essay was not to review all critical or scholarly editions published during die last decades. Only the ones that were chosen that reveal, directly or indirectly, the interdependence of literary theory and criticism, as it manifests itself in the changing interpretations of Quevedo's fictional autobiography attributed by its author to an imaginary rogue, Pablos of Segovia.
