Description: In 'A Companion to Celestina', Enrique Fernandez brings together twenty-three hitherto unpublished contributions on the 'Tragicomedia de Calisto y Melibea', popularly known as 'Celestina' (c.1499) written by leading experts who summarize, evaluate and expand on previous studies. The resulting chapters offer the non-specialist an overview of Celestina studies. Those who already know the field will find state of the art studies filled with new insights that elaborate on or depart from the well-established currents of criticism. Celestinaþs creation and sources, the parody of religious and erudite traditions, the treatment of magic, prostitution, the celestinesca and picaresque genre, the translations into other languages as well as the adaptations into the visual arts (engravings, paintings, films) are some of the topics included in this companion.
