{"product_id":"calistos-dream-and-the-celestinesque-tradition","title":"Calisto's Dream and the Celestinesque Tradition","description":"Fernando de Rojas's \u003ci\u003eCelestina\u003c\/i\u003e, written in the late fifteenth century, opens with an enigmatic conversation between Calisto and Melibea that has puzzled scholars trying to resolve the apparent contradictions in the work as a whole. Ricardo Castells supports the idea that the scene represents Calisto's dream about his beloved Melibea. In this study, Castells examines later Celestinesque works as a lens through which we might better understand \u003ci\u003eCelestina\u003c\/i\u003e. Castells focuses on Calisto's creative use of borrowed text and speech and contends that Melibea demonstrates a surprisingly strong and consistent personality. He argues that Celestina's role is somewhat diminished in Rojas's continuation of the text as a result of Melibea's greater independence of character.","brand":"The University of North Carolina Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54260283507032,"sku":"9780807892534","price":28.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780807892534_f4895660-a052-42f8-a742-f6036b15de31.jpg?v=1781075734","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/calistos-dream-and-the-celestinesque-tradition","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
