Recording: Rafael Lapesa on Celestina (1987)

An unexpected discovery:

The whole series of nine conferences on Hispanic Medieval Literature can be found in Youtube.

Paper on Celestina at the Biblioteca de Castilla-La Mancha: “Fernando de Rojas y el entorno social de La Celestina” (16th January 2017, Toledo)

In context of the conference series “Toledo, cine, literatura, historia”, Ángel del Cerro del Valle will be reading the paper “Fernando de Rojas y el entorno social de La Celestina“.

This event follows the screening of the 1969 film version by César Fernández Ardavín the last Wednesday, 11th January 2017. Unfortunately, we will not be able to attend, but for those in the vicinity, the conference takes place on Monday, 16th January 2017, from 19:00 to 21:00 at the Biblioteca de Castilla-La Mancha (Cuesta de Carlos V s/n, Toledo).

While I am working on a longer post on Martha García’s Dialogismo teológico: Devotio moderna, “Celestina” & “Quijote”, I wanted to share with you two conferences held this summer at the XVII Festival Celestina (La Puebla de Montalbán, 21st-30th August 2015).
