About

Raised in Lima, Peru, Ariadna García-Bryce earned her BA in Comparative Literature from Yale University in 1989; she earned her PhD in Spanish Literature from Princeton University in 1997. Her research is in the field of early modern Hispanic literature and culture with an interdisciplinary focus. Her publications in peer-review journals and anthologies encompass a variety of topics: the relationship between drama, religion, and visual culture; rhetoric, poetics and the construction of social authority; the appropriation of Baroque poetics in twentieth-century Latin America; conceptions of the body and gender construction. Her book, Transcending Textuality: Quevedo and Political Authority in the Age of Print (Pennsylvania State University Press, 2011), examines the connection between anti-Machiavellian political theory and court spectacle. Currently, she is in the process of completing a book on time-consciousness and memory in early modern Spain and colonial Mexico.
