Areas of Interest
|
| |
|
I love Colonial Spanish American Literature, particularly the 17th century chronicles and semi-fictitious works of Peru and South America. I am interested in working with first hand archival materials and helping to preserve them and make them available to a wider public. I am fascinated by religious thought of the 17th century and the worldview of Spaniards living as a dominant minority in the "New World" colonies.
