CELESTINA AND THE HUMAN CONDITION IN EARLY MODERN SPAIN AND ITALY

Winner of the 2015 Publication Prize awarded by the Association of Hispanists of Great Britain and Ireland

Celestina by Fernando de Rojas is a canonical work of late medieval Spanish literature and one of the earliest European "best-sellers". However, while we have clear evidence of its popularity and influence due to detailed research on its print history and editions, we have not adequately answered the question of precisely why it continued to hold such appeal for early modern audiences.
