The Celestina is considered by scholars to be the first European
novel. Written in fifteenth-century Spain, this masterpiece is
remarkable for its originality, depth, handling of dialogue, and
drawing of character. The novel's focus is the character of
Celestina, who dominates the scene. An old bawd brimming with salty
wisdom derived from a vigorous and sinful life, she is one of the
great creations in all of literature and holds a secure place
beside her two compatriots, Don Quixote and Sancho Panza. This
Spanish classic, a forebear of Cervantes, was originally published
anonymously in 1499; later editions bear the name of Fernando de
Rojas as author.
