Prof Jonathan W Thacker
King Alfonso XIII Professor of Spanish Studies
I am interested in early modern (Golden Age) Spanish theatre from aspects of performance, both contemporary and modern-day, in Spanish and in translation, to text-based study. I work on attributions of plays, editorial questions, genre, and the relationship of theatre to society. As far as this drama is concerned I have written mostly on Lope de Vega and Tirso de Molina. I also work on Cervantes, both his theatre and his prose works and have an interest in the early translations of Don Quijote into English. Two of the main projects I have worked on recently are the Out of Wings project and the Prolope project.
