«Cárcel de amor» is the fifteenth-century sentimental novel by Diego de San Pedro, published by Editorial Orbis in 1988 (144 pages, in Spanish).
Set against the twilight of the Middle Ages, the work follows the courtly and unhappy love of Leriano for Laureola; through letters and allegorical scenes it raises the conflicts between desire, honor and loyalty, and it became a landmark of fifteenth-century sentimental narrative.
A classic for readers who want to approach Spanish literature of the fifteenth century and the origins of the sentimental novel.
Diego de San Pedro was a Castilian writer. Little is known about him, besides what is included in his works. Scholars also rely on what they infer from the context in which he wrote and the many nobles to whom he has been linked.
