Introduction
My main research interests include Romantic literary theory and poetry, the connections between Romanticism and twentieth century literature as well as the reception of British Romantic authors in Spain. My book "Plastic Intellectual Breeze. The Contribution of Ralph Cudworth to S. T. Coleridge’s Early Poetics of the Symbol" (Peter Lang), was published in 2008. Since then, I have been working on the Anglo-Spanish literary connections during the Romantic period. Together with Jonatan González, I am co-editing Robert Southey's "Letters Written a Short Residence in Spain and Portugal" under contract with Routledge. Currently, I am working as PI2 in the Research Proyect "Hispanic Literature in the British Romantic Periodical Press" funded by the Ministry of Science (RTI2018-097450-B-I00).

Coleridge and Contemplation is a multi-disciplinary volume on Samuel Taylor Coleridge, founding poet of British Romanticism, critic, and author of philosophical, political, and theological works. In his philosophical writings, Coleridge developed his thinking about the symbolizing imagination, a precursor to contemplation, into a theory of contempl...
In this chapter Flores explores the reception and influence of William Blake in Spain. She first offers a comprehensive view of the significant contribution of translations and critical scholarship to the progressive creation of Blake’s literary fame in Spain. She further claims that although some signs of Blake’s influence can be traced back to th...

Southey publicó esta narrativa de viajes tras habe...
This article explores Robert Southey's literary responses to his walking experiences in Spain as he recounted them in Letters Written During a Short Residence in Spain and Portugal (1797). Published after a four-month visit to the Iberian Peninsula, Letters departs from previous travelogues in offering, apart from factual details, subjective impres...
With the main goal of contributing to a wider understanding of the presence of Spanish literature and culture in British Romanticism, this book focuses on the instrumental role played by the British periodical press in the Anglo-Spanish literary and cultural exchange in the first half of the nineteenth century. All the chapters bear witness to the...
Abstract This chapter delves into the reception of the Spanish Golden Age author Lope de Vega in the British Romantic periodical press. With the exception of some publications exploring Lope’s presence in works by Robert Southey and Mary Shelley, there is a con�spicuous lack of scholarly work on his literary afterlife in Romantic Great Britain, whi...
William Blake’s Songs of Experience found a powerful response in the Spanish author Leopoldo María Panero (1948– 2014). In his work, which is crowded with echoes of the Blakean images of the sick rose and the tiger, he offers a reinterpretation of some of Blake’s most popular motifs.
André Lefevere highlighted the central role of translations in the creation of literary fame, that is, in ‘the general reception and survival of works of literature among non-professional readers’. Through
translations, the image of an author is shaped and projected in different national, historical and cultural contexts. The analysis of the selec...
Walking in Nature was for the English Romantics an intense poetic experience, which originated some of their best poems, based on the search of a total immersion in Nature and of the gaining of the poet’s self-knowledge. The poetry of W. Wordsworth and S. T. Coleridge epitomises this epistemological journey in the natural world, in which the limits...
Fernando Castanedo’s bilingual edition of William Blake’s An Island in the Moon is an extraordinary and definitive contribution to the reception of the English author in Spain. Thanks to this volume, all of Blake’s literary works are now available in Spanish. Moreover, Castanedo’s insightful introduction constitutes the only scholarly work on Blake...
The Spanish novelist Eduardo Mendoza, who defined fiction as “the combining exercise of elements taken from tradition and put to work for story,” blends in his novels elements belonging to the detective and Gothic genres with the ultimate purpose of subverting them through satire. It is my purpose here to prove that one of Mendoza's referents is Ed...
Resumen: Este trabajo tiene como objetivo identifi car los ecos de la teoría de William Wordsworth según la cual la poesía tiene origen en el recuerdo tranquilo de emociones pasadas en la poética de Antonio Machado. Para ello será primero necesario el estudio de las posibles vías de transmisión de dicha idea en el contexto intelectual del poeta esp...
It is the main purpose of this article to dive into the nature and extent of William Blake’s contribution to Miguel de Unamuno’s late poetry and poetics. The initial study of Unamuno’s pencilled marks on his own volumes of Blake’s complete works, together with the analysis of the essays and poem he devoted to the British author are aimed at providi...
It is the main purpose of this paper to explore the narrative pattern of the quest motif in Sam Mendes’ Road to Perdition (2002). The study of the narrative structure in Sam Mendes’ movie will illustrate that the quest constituent in the road movie genre sometimes acquires the form of a contemporary “mechanized” version of the archetypal hero-adven...
Este artículo pretende mostrar la presencia de la poesía de Edgar Allan Poe en Antonio Machado, quien afi rmó en “Poética” (1931) que el poeta norteamericano era uno de los padres de la poesía moderna, así como el autor del mejor poema compuesto en el siglo XIX, “The Raven”. En primer lugar, abordaremos el estudio de la circulación y recepción de l...
This paper aims at exploring some aspects of Migue de Unamuno's engagement with Samuel Taylor Coleridge's poetry. The Spanish autor wrote in 1907 his first collection of poems, "Poesías". A non-negligible number of poems in the collection bear significant resemblances with Samuel Taylor Coleridge's "meditative poems". It is my purpose here to analy...
En este artículo proponemos la interpretación de los llamados Conversation Poems de S. T. Coleridge como la dramatización de su joven visión Neoplatónica del acto creativo en la poesía. El análisis inicial de su filosofía de la naturaleza y de la literatura nos llevará a considerar la relevancia de la obra de Ralph Cudworth, True Intellectual Syste...
A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man may be interpreted as a Künstleroman, a novel of an artist’s development, in which the literary trajectory of Stephen Dedalus is depicted. We will trace the artist’s evolution from young Stephen’s ideas about art, strongly influenced by romantic principles, to Stephen’s final assertion as an artist in the ela...
En este artículo nos proponemos estudiar el correlato estructural de iniciación en "El amante de Lady Chatterley" con respecto tanto a las teorías del autor sobre la corporeidad, el intelecto y la relación entre ambos, como a la función moralizante de la novela. Tras el análisis de las ideas expresadas por D. H. Lawrence en los artículos "A Propos...
The main purpose of this paper is the study of the applicability of the mechanisms for the interpretation of poetic metaphors proposed in Lakoff and Turner (1989) and Lakoff (1993) to the analysis of a particular corpus of poetic metaphors. After an overview account of the cognitive theory about poetic metaphors, according to which these are extens...
The main purpose of this paper is to show the resurgence of romantic irony during the Modernist period due mainly to both the scepticism about the representational power of art and the awareness of the inevitable mediating role of the artist that arose in the Modernist literary atmosphere. We will first delimit the concept of Romantic irony so as t...
