{"product_id":"the-image-of-celestina-enrique-fernndez-9781487549787","title":"The Image of Celestina: Illustrations, Paintings, and Advertisements","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eLa Celestina, \u003c\/em\u003e a Spanish literary masterpiece second only in importance to \u003ci\u003eDon Quixote\u003c\/i\u003e in Spanish literature, has been shaped by the inclusion of images from its very first edition in 1499. The subsequent five centuries were punctuated by many illustrated editions; imaginary portraits of the eponymous procuress Celestina by painters such as Murillo, Goya, and Picasso; and, more recently, screen and stage adaptations. Celestina became the prototype from which later representations of procuresses and bawds derived.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Image of Celestina\u003c\/i\u003e sheds light on the visual culture that developed around \u003ci\u003eLa Celestina\u003c\/i\u003e, including paintings, illustrations, and advertisements. Enrique Fern?ndez examines \u003ci\u003eLa Celestina\u003c\/i\u003e as a mixed-media text, incorporating methods from disciplines such as art history and women's and cinema studies, and considers a variety of images including promotional posters, lobby pictures, and playbills of theatrical and cinematic adaptations of the book. Using a visual studies approach, \u003ci\u003eThe Image of Celestina\u003c\/i\u003e ultimately illuminates the culture of Celestina, a mythical figure, who surpasses the literary text in which she originated.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Enrique Fern?ndez\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1487549784\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781487549787\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/29\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.33lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.81d","brand":"Enrique Fern?ndez","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46293050065151,"sku":"9781487549787","price":90.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5fdc9560-4bdb-4570-a18e-7efb764f9dab.jpg?v=1730211976","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-image-of-celestina-enrique-fernndez-9781487549787","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
