Table of ContentsReviews"""In The Image of Celestina, Enrique Fernández explores 500 years of illustrations, paintings, and advertising of Rojas's paradigm-shifting work, offering his readers brilliant insights that convincingly demonstrate how this wealth of images 'flourished in different periods, used different media, and were intended for different audiences.' Celestina's protean nature and the fascination she has exerted not only on literary continuations and adaptations but also on such painters as Murillo, Goya, and Picasso, as well as on recent theatre, reveals Celestina's eternal allure. This book will be as valuable to literary scholars as to those who are engaged in visual studies.""--Marina S. Brownlee, Robert Schirmer Professor of Spanish and Portuguese and Comparative Literature, Princeton University ""This volume by Enrique Fernández is destined to become an unequalled guide to the myriad images of Celestina, starting with an early edition of the work with its seventeen woodcuts as illustrations and covering the more than five centuries since then as the work was translated and independently illustrated, with images used in many ways outside the fictional world of the original work. The quality of the written text is matched by the quality of the images reproduced. The Image of Celestina will long be a treasure in any public or personal library.""--Joseph T. Snow, Professor Emeritus of Spanish Literature, Michigan State University" """In The Image of Celestina, Enrique Fernández explores 500 years of illustrations, paintings, and advertising of Rojas's paradigm-shifting work, offering his readers brilliant insights that convincingly demonstrate how this wealth of images 'flourished in different periods, used different media, and were intended for different audiences.'
