Felipe Valencia

Felipe Valencia (BA, Complutense University of Madrid; PhD, Brown University) is Assistant Professor of Spanish at Utah State University. His book project, tentatively titled The Melancholy Void: The Problem of Lyric in the Age of Góngora, interprets the transformation of Hispanic poetry at the turn of the seventeenth century in light of two interconnected developments at the time: the great interest in melancholy as the condition of the poet and the emergence of lyric as a defined category in poetic theory. Professor Valencia has published articles on sixteenth-century Spanish lyric and epic poetry and neo-Senecan tragedy.
