My main areas of research are British eighteenth-century and Romantic literature and literary theory, with a particular interest in Henry Fielding and S. T. Coleridge. I have also specialised in the Anglo-Hispanic literary and cultural exchange in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Some of my publications in this field are ‘Samuel Taylor Coleridge on Don Quixote’ (Cervantes. Bulletin of the Cervantes Society of America, Fall 2014), ‘Coleridge and Spanish Literature’ (Spain in British Romanticism, 1800-1840. Palgrave Macmillan, 2018) and ‘Coleridge’s Criticism of the Don Juan Tradition’ (Romanticism, Reaction and Revolution: British Views on Spain 1814-1823. Peter Lang, 2019). I am the co-editor of the journal ES Review. Spanish Journal of English Studies since 2016 and the AEDEAN coordinator of the panel Modern and Contemporary Literature since 2017.

My main research interests include British Romantic literary theory and literature, with a focus on S.T. Coleridge. My book Plastic Intellectual Breeze. The Contribution of Ralph Cudworth to S. T. Coleridge’s Early Poetics of the Symbol (Peter Lang) was published in 2008. Since then, I have been mainly working on the Anglo-Spanish literary connections during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Some of my publications in this line of research are: ‘Contemplative Unamuno: The Presence of S.T. Coleridge’s ‘Musings’ in Miguel de Unamuno’s Poetics’ (Comparative Critical Studies, Edinburgh University Press, 2010); ‘The Reception of William Blake in Spain’ (The Reception of William Blake in Europe. Bloomsbury, 2018); ‘Lope de Vega en el romanticismo inglés; el caso de La hermosura de Angélica en Letters Written During a Short Residence in Spain and Portugal’ (Bulletin of Spanish Studies. Routledge, 2019) (co-authored with J. González). Currently, I am co-editing the scholarly edition of Robert Southey’s Letters Written During a Short Residence in Spain and Portugal (Routledge, forthcoming 2020).

My research interests lie in the fields of 18th-Century Spanish literature, culture, and intellectual history; Anglo-Spanish cultural transfers and Spanish periodical press. My recent monograph Anglomanía: la imagen de Inglaterra en la prensa española del siglo XVIII (Woodbridge: Tamesis Books, 2019) explores the notion of anglomania and its reactive phenomenon, anglophobia, offering a contextualised analysis of the transmission, reception and adaptation of British Enlightened ideas and reforms in three different types of Spanish periodicals. I have also recently co-edited a volume on The Configuration of the Spanish Public Sphere: from the Enlightenment to the indignados (New York-Oxford: Berghahn Books, 2019). I contribute to the Year’s Work in Modern Language Studies, reviewing the section of Spanish Studies: Literature, 1700-1823.
