EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Fernando de Rojas: The Master of Tragicomedy in 16th-Century Castile" This evocative engraving captures the enigmatic figure of Fernando de Rojas (1465-1541), a pivotal Spanish writer of the 15th and 16th centuries. Born in Burgos, Castile, de Rojas is renowned for his groundbreaking work, "La Celestina" or "Tragicomedy of Calisto and Melibea." The image portrays a thoughtful, introspective de Rojas, with a quill pen in hand and a contemplative expression on his face. The inscription below reads, "Fernando de Rojas, Author of the Tragicomedy of Calisto and Melibea," highlighting his most famous literary achievement. "La Celestina," completed in 1499, is considered the first Spanish novel and a seminal work of European literature. It is a tragicomedy that explores the complexities of human emotions, particularly love and desire, and the consequences of their pursuit. The novel's unique blend of tragedy and comedy, as well as its exploration of the human condition, influenced European literature for centuries. De Rojas' work was groundbreaking for its time, as it delved into the depths of human emotions and relationships, often exploring themes that were considered taboo. His writing, which was deeply rooted in the Castilian language and culture, helped establish the foundations of Spanish literature and cemented his place as a literary pioneer. This engraving, produced in Burgos in 1531, is a testament to the enduring legacy of Fernando de Rojas and his contributions to the literary world. It serves as a reminder of the power of the written word and the profound impact it can have on generations to come.
