Research Interests
My research focuses on lyrical poetry, melancholy, early modern poetics and Neo-Platonism. I have a preference for Petrarchists of the later sixteenth-century such as Aldana, La Torre, and Figueroa, and of course Góngora and Quevedo. Secondary interests include Colonial literature from New Spain and New Granada, Troubadour lyric and modern Latin American poetry.
