Routinely ignored in Spanish letters, the book nonetheless echoes through contemporary Spanish and Latin American literature. This is the phenomenon that Celestina's Brood explores.Roberto González Echevarría, one of the most eminent and influential critics of Hispanic literature writing today, uses Rojas' text as his starting point to offer an exploration of modernity in the Hispanic literary tradition, and of the Baroque as an expression of the modern. His analysis of Celestina reveals the relentless probing of the limits of language and morality that mark the work as the beginning of literary modernity in Spanish, and the start of a tradition distinguished by a penchant for the excesses of the Baroque. González Echevarría pursues this tradition and its meaning through the works of major figures such as Cervantes, Lope de Vega, Calderón de la Barca, Alejo Carpentier, Carlos Fuentes, Gabriel García Márquez, Nicolás Guillén, and Severo Sarduy, as well as through the works of lesser-known authors.By revealing continuities of the Baroque, Celestina's Brood cuts across conventional distinctions between Spanish and Latin American literary traditions to show their profound and previously unimagined affinity. 606 $aSpanish literature$yClassical period, 1500-1700$xHistory and criticism 606 $aBaroque literature 606 $aSpanish American literature$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aSpanish literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aBaroque literature. 615 0$aSpanish American literature$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a862/.2 700 $aGonza?lez Echevarri?a$b Roberto$0163491 801 0$bNDD 801 1$bNDD 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910786747903321 996 $aCelestina's brood$92913002 997 $aUNINA
