Biography

Nieves Baranda is Professor of Spanish Literature at the Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia (UNED), Spain.



Anne J. Cruz is Professor of Spanish and Cooper Fellow Emerita at the University of Miami, USA.

"It is a valuable "state of the art" book on Spanish women’s cultural history that advances answers to questions raised by previous work in the field while also defining a model for productive collaboration in the academy across national borders. It mostly certainly merits publication."

"This impressive and wide-ranging reference work will certainly be considered the go-to guide for students who require critical introductions to early modern Spanish women writers and for scholars seeking to build upon the avenues of research it announces."

"In their Routledge Research Companion to Early Modern Spanish Women Writers, Nieves Baranda and Anne Cruz have compiled a critical resource that is not only an important compendium of the growing number of early modern Spanish women writers, but also a guide to the breadth and depth of feminist scholarship on those creative women."

- Allyson M. Poska, Bulletin of the Comediantes

"Each article concludes helpfully with suggestions of important work that is still needed and an ample bibliography that documents existing sources to help current and future scholars in carrying out that work [...] it should be included in every college and university library."

- Margaret R. Greer, Duke University, Early Modern Women: An Interdisciplinary Journal
