Areas of Interest

My principal focus of research is Latin American literature from the end of the 19th Century (modernismo), but I am also interested in Latin American Literature in general, as well as more specifically in Caribbean literature.  In fact, the articles that I have published or that are already in press deal with the work of some of modernismo’s canonical writers (Jose Martí, Rubén Darío, and mainly Julián del Casal), as well as romanticism (Gabriel de la Concepción Valdés (Plácido), and Gertrudis Gómez de Avellaneda), contemporary Cuban literature and the Puerto Rican Manuel Ramos Otero, whom I consider one of our most fascinating Caribbean and Latin American writers.
