I am Professor of Spanish Literature in the Department of Spanish Literature and Literary Theory at the University of Vigo, which I joined in 1998. My most important research is related to nineteenth-century Spanish literature in all genres, especially theatre, to which I devoted myself in my doctoral thesis. Later I added to my lines of work Pardobodanism, the historical novel, popular literature, the press, literary legends and tales, the iconic texts of nineteenth-century publishing, writing by/about women in the nineteenth century and the rewriting of the Middle Ages by the Octocentist. I am literary editor of the Duke of Rivas, Zorrilla, Gil y Zárate, Muñoz Seca, Rosalía de Castro and Emilia Pardo Bazán.
Since its birth in 2014, I coordinate the Ediciones y Estudios de Literatura Española research group, recognised by the University of Vigo, which is made up of more than a dozen researchers, as well as students in training. I am also PI of the first Teaching Innovation project in humanities at UVigo. I coordinate the ALITES Teaching Innovation Group, which has raised funds from the university itself and other public bodies, in different competitive calls, to carry out actions of dissemination and transfer of the results of our research. The most noteworthy are the polymedia pills in Spanish language and in Spanish sign language, open access in the TECER digital library, which I coordinate, as well as the implementation of its MULIER and TALÍA rooms, funded by the Chair of Feminisms of the Provincial Council of Pontevedra.
In addition to undergraduate, graduate, doctoral and master’s degrees at UVigo, I have taught Erasmus in different European universities and participated in doctoral programmes at the University of A Coruña, postgraduate programmes in Santiago de Compostela and León, and master’s programmes in Rennes II and Udine. I coordinate and teach teacher training courses at UVigo, different online literary training programmes and, since 2023, I have been teaching in my own degree as an Expert in Writing and Literary Rewriting in the Middle Ages.
