El huerto de Melibea: Parodia y subversión de un <i>topos</i> medieval

Abstract

This article explores the possible meanings and functions (as well as the connotations) of Melibea’s garden within LC. The main goal is to understand the relationship between the representation of Melibea’s garden and its importance. The central question is: Could Melibea’s garden be a variation of the chronotope of hortus clausus that parodies the traditional Spanish medieval and modern literary production?
