Elizabeth Rhodes
associate professor of hispanic studies
Prof. Rhodes will be on sabbatical during fall semester 2008. Last spring, she and Prof. Margaret Greer (Duke University) finished their translation/edition of selected tales by author María de Zayas, which will be available from the University of Chicago Press in December. With Prof. Juan Montero (Universidad de Granada), she completed a study and anthology/edition of poems by the sixteenth-century author Jorge de Montemayor, forthcoming from Castalia in Madrid. Her book manuscript on the Desengaños amorosos by María de Zayas is under consideration for publication. During the summer, she began work on a research project about the films of Pedro de Almodovar.
While on sabbatical, Prof. Rhodes will speak at the exhibit of Velázquez and El Greco at the Nasher Museum at Duke University, having given a lecture about the exhibit when it was at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston during the spring of 2008. At the Sixteenth Century Studies conference in St. Louis, she will speak about violence and the sacred, and will deliver a paper, "Translating Terror," at the MLA convention in San Francisco.
Prof. Rhodes and her research assistant, Hannah Donoghue (BC '09) continue to collect and edit the lives of sinner female saints from the fifteenth through seventeenth centuries. With PhD candidate Tara Sujko, she has begun an edition of Valor, agravio y mujer by baroque playwright Ana Caro y Sotomayor.
