{"product_id":"calistos-dream-and-the-celestinesque-richard-castells-9780807892534","title":"Calisto's Dream and the Celestinesque Tradition: A Rereading of Celestina","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, which 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 this greater independence in Melibea's character. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Castells\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 080789253X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780807892534\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Unc Department of Romance Studies\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/1995\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.61lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.38w x 0.43d","brand":"Richard Castells","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44190576869631,"sku":"9780807892534","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a611505a-716b-477f-aacb-668fbf771789.jpg?v=1690871272","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/calistos-dream-and-the-celestinesque-richard-castells-9780807892534","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
