Professor Wright analyzes a diverse array of writing practices from Early Modern Spain (1492-1800), including 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). Her current book project, The Subjects of Empire: Displacement and Information Innovations in the Early Modern Spanish World, contemplates Spain's sixteenth-century expansion as the first modern "information age."

Coinciding with the four hundredth anniversary of the publication of Don Quixote Part I, the Department of Spanish and Portuguese is hosting a symposium devoted to the study and celebration of this magnificent text, which continues to fascinate scholars, provide literary, cinematic, musical and artistic inspiration, and find ever more new readers through modern editions and new translations. Some of the world’s most renowned cervantistas will come together in Bloomington to shed light on the relationship between Don Quixote and the theory of the novel, the Fine Arts, the New World, the chivalric world, psychoanalysis, Christianity and Islam, as well as to behold the legacy of Miguel de Cervantes.
