Elballeros andantes ninguno los hubiese traido. His interlocutor replies because the authors thought que no era menester escrebir una cosa tan clara y tan necesaria de traerse como eran dineros y camisas limpias, it does not follow they deemed such things unimportant (I: iii, 49). To be sure, the assumption Amadis and his brethren never worry about mere cash is not without foundation. Eisenberg has observed money is so seldom mentioned in the chivalric romance that it seems the protagonists . . live in a primitive era, outside the money economy altogether (63). However, despite Quijote's contention, whose accuracy with regard to the sixteenth-century romances Eisenberg confirms, the apparently rudimentary economy of the chivalric texts indicates not these works are authentically primitive in any ethnographic sense, but rather that, for reasons this essay hopes to explicate, they display a primitivist effigy of premonetary or anti-monetary economy
