The other focusses on one particular genre: the ballad or romance.
One gives students an overview of literary production across the Hispanic world from the seventeenth-century to the present day. Students have the chance to engage in a wide range of literary texts, across genres, registers, and styles, as well as the opportunity to explore their own creative writing skills as translators.įor the first year course, I teach two introductory papers in Spanish literature. We work on building students’ vocabulary and grammar, as well as their abilities as textual analysts. In language work, we focus on literary translation of texts from Spanish to English and from English to Spanish. I teach both Spanish language as well as its associated literature, with a particular focus on the early modern period. Instead, it argues that the iconography of the Marian body played a vital role in legitimising the Spanish imperial project, and become a site where questions of gender, sexuality, religion, and race were negotiated. Using literary texts alongside historical and visual sources, this project challenges current understandings of Marian literature as a purely devotional genre. My next project is entitled Inmaculada: The Virgin Mary and the Transformation of the Hispanic World, 1492- 1695, and analyses early modern literary representations of the Virgin Mary as a locus of Spanish colonial discourse. These texts touch on questions of women’s learning and their engagement in social and political spheres, the transition between Baroque pessimism and the optimism of the early Enlightenment, and dynamics of publishing and power in the early modern world. I am currently working on a translation and critical edition of the exchange of letters between Sor Juana and her Bishop, the Carta de sor Filotea and the Respueta a sor Filotea. My first book explored the presence of empirical ideas in the religious plays by the Mexican poet and nun Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz ( The autos sacramentales of Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz: Natural Philosophy and Sacramental Theology, OUP, 2018). My research focusses on the literature and culture of the early modern Hispanic world, especially New Spain (present-day Mexico) with a particular interest in religious culture, women’s writing, and the relationship between religious though and early modern scientific enquiry.
