A Companion to Celestina
In A Companion to Celestina, Enrique Fernandez brings together twenty-three hitherto unpublished contributions on the Tragicomedia de Calisto y Melibea, popularly known as Celestina (c. 1499) written by leading experts who summarize, evaluate and expand on previous studies. The resulting chapters offer the non-specialist an overview of Celestina studies. Those who already know the field will find state of the art studies filled with new insights that elaborate on or depart from the well-established currents of criticism. Celestina's creation and sources, the parody of religious and erudite traditions, the treatment of magic, prostitution, the celestinesca and picaresque genre, the translatio...

El entremés y sus intérpretes
El teatro del Siglo de Oro español es una realidad tan rica, tan inconmensurable, que todavía no hemos logrado formar un catálogo razonablemente completo. En esta libro analizamos el entremés, un teatro voluntariamente menor. A ello se debe precisamente su enorme éxito popular. Un género chico que se hacía grande en la representación, en el contacto con el público.
De la magia al escepticismo. Literatura, ciencia y pensamiento en los siglos XVI - XVIII
Descripción / Resumen (Español / Castellano): Los trabajos que el lector encontrará reunidos en el presente volumen son prolongación de las líneas de investigación abordadas previamente por la red hispanogermana "Saberes humanísticos y formas de vida". El objeto de estudio en esta ocasión es la relación entre literatura, ciencia y pensamiento en los siglos XVI-XVIII, basándose por la mayor parte en textos y formas de divulgación que tratan aspectos mágicos y escépticos. Como es sabido, el estudio de la literatura, en muchas ocasiones, no es únicamente literario, ni siquiera humanístico, sino que se vincula también con el horizonte científico y la episteme de cada época.

The Image of Celestina
La Celestina, a Spanish literary masterpiece second only in importance to Don Quixote 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. The Image of Celestina sheds light on the visual culture that developed around La Celestina, including paintings, illustrations, and advertisements. Enrique Fernández examines La Celestina 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, The Image of Celestina ultimately illuminates the culture of Celestina, a mythical figure, who surpasses the literary text in which she originated.

Divination on stage
Magicians, necromancers and astrologers are assiduous characters in the European golden age theatre. This book deals with dramatic characters who act as physiognomists or palm readers in the fictional world and analyses the fictionalisation of physiognomic lore as a practice of divination in early modern Romance theatre from Pietro Aretino and Giordano Bruno to Lope de Vega, Calderón de la Barca and Thomas Corneille.
Fictionalizing heterodoxy
The information overload produced by the printing press and the new forms of the structuring of knowledge are echoed in fictional works. The essays assembled in this book study the textualization of problematic forms of knowledge in medieval and early modern Spanish literature. Literary Works like the Libro buen amor, La Lozana Andaluza, or the Guzmán de Alfarache are read against the backdrop of scientific developments of their times.
