Description

Explore the historical and social context of one of the most important literary works in Spanish history. In this study, Stephen Gilman conducts extensive historical detective work to connect the text of La Celestina with the real-world environment of the fifteenth century. By examining both the dialogue within the masterpiece and various public and private archives in Spain, this book provides a new dimension to critical studies of the era. Gilman builds a vivid portrait of the man behind the text, establishing Fernando de Rojas as the indisputable author of this work. While critics have often ranked this novel second only to Don Quixote, they have frequently treated Rojas as a semi-anonymous or non-existent figure. This volume changes that perspective, offering a way to understand the masterpiece through the lens of its creator and the intellectual landscape of his time. Part of the Princeton Legacy Library, this book is an essential resource for students and scholars of Medieval European history and literature.
