After studying Classics and Renaissance Studies at the Universitat de Barcelona, I undertook postdoctoral research at The Warburg Institute (University of London). I taught and researched at the University of Nottingham between 1995 and 2008. I have also been Visiting Lecturer at the University of Cambridge and at the University of Salzburg. In 2009 I accepted a Research Professorship at ICREA in the Department of Catalan at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona where I am conducting research on Renaissance literary culture.

Research Interest
|
|
My research has contributed to the development of two major inter-related fields: the role of Latin in early-modern cultural history, and the study of the classical tradition in Renaissance Catalunya. As well as paying attention to the Latin humanists of Renaissance Europe, my most ground-breaking work has been to explore the manifold didactic applications of some of the key Latin texts of Italian humanism in the curriculum of sixteenth-century Europe. I have attempted to demonstrate how the ideas and methods incarnated by Italian Humanism came to be incorporated in the daily routine of teaching.
The second field, the study of the reception of Greek and Roman literatures in the original or in translation in early-modern Catalunya, has been my chief research since 2004 and will become the primary focus of my attention in the years to come.
