Abstract

Celestina scholarship has devoted many pages to the influence of Carcel de amor on the Tragicomedia de Calisto y Melibea. However, this is not the only work by Diego de San Pedro that has left trace in the Tragicomedia. Actually, his religious writings La Passion trobada and Las siete Angustias de Nuestra Senora could have played an important role in the composition of the tragic ending of Celestina. In this article, I will enumerate the arguments in favour of the influence of the religious writings of Diego de San Pedro on Celestina, both textual and structural. Moreover, I will offer a brief explanation on why and how San Pedro's religious poems were chosen to build the final acts of Celestina.

Highlights

Desde que Dorothy Severin expusiera en 1984 la teoría de que “Calisto es una parodia, no solo de cualquier amante cortés, sino de un amante específico, el héroe de la novela sentimental española, y en particular de Leriano, el héroe de La Cárcel de Amor de Diego de San Pedro”[1]; la crítica celestinesca ha dedicado numerosas páginas al estudio de la influencia de Cárcel de amor sobre Celestina
