Una familia de meretrices: prostitutas públicas y privadas, cortesanas, rameras y putas viejas en <i>La Celestina</i>

Abstract

The signing of the royal decree of conversion or expulsion of the Moorish on March 31st, 1492 entailed huge changes in the Spanish society. With the publication of new law codes, the civil authorities tried to erase any cultural heritage from the former historic period and to control the sexual freedom of a community that had felt attracted to activities, as that of the brothel, which threatened the moral values. in La Celestina, Melibea is introduced to the world of prostitution by a bawd and her disciples, with whom she ends up building a whole family of prostitutes.
