Current Hispanic Baroque Research
General Research Interests
Recent Publications
Current Hispanic Baroque Research:
Studying how literary genres such as enigmas and sueños can be understood as technologies of culture. She is particularly interested in enriching the canon of Hispanic literature through the recuperation, edition, and study of lesser-known satirical and allegorical texts from New Spain.
General Research Interests:
Focuses on colonial and nineteenth-century Mexican literature. More specifically, she studies:
- Enlightenment novohispano appropriations of Golden Age genres such as the picaresque, female quixotism and satirical allegories in the works of José Joaquín Fernández de Lizardi and his contemporaries
- Enlightenment thought and sixteenth-century indigenous accounts of the conquest of México, particularly in the work of Francisco Javier Clavijero
- Mexican liberalism and the construction of a national literature in the works of Ignacio Manuel Altamirano and his contemporaries
Recent Publications:
Published the monograph Ilustrando la Nueva España: Texto e imagen en El Periquillo Sarniento de Fernández de Lizardi (U de Extremadura, 1999) and El Quijote en Hispanoamérica (siglo XIX), a special number for Siglo Diecinueve, 5 (1999). Some of her more recent articles are:
