ELIZABETH WRIGHT Associate Professor of Spanish In her research, Dr. Elizabeth Wright analyzes a diverse array of writing practices from Early Modern Spain (1492-1800) to the history of the book and the social history of reading. Her first book analyzed how the politics of court patronage shaped the innovative publishing strategies of the poet and playwright Lope de Vega (Pilgrimage to Patronage: Lope de Vega and the Court of Philip III, 1598-1621, Bucknell University Press, 2001). A new book project, The Subject of Empire: Displacement and Information Innovations in the Spanish Monarchy, 1520-1620, contemplates Spain's sixteenth-century expansion as the first modern "information age."
In addition to her own research, Wright is working in close collaboration with the historian Barry D. Sell and the anthropologist Louise M. Burkhart to prepare a critical edition, Spanish Golden Age Theater in Mexican Translation (under contract, University of Oklahoma Press). This project was recently awarded a National Endowment for the Humanities Collaborative Research Fellowship. Wright's own research has been supported by the John Carter Brown Library's Andrew W. Mellon Fellowship, the Newberry Library's National Endowment for the Humanities Fellowship, a Fulbright Grant, and an award from the Committee for Cultural Cooperation between Spain and the United States. She has published journal articles in the United States, Spain and France. In March of 2004 she was a visiting professor at the University of Toulouse, Le Mirail. |
