José María Rodríguez-García, Assistant
Professor of Romance Studies, received his Ph.D. in Comparative
Literature from the University of Colorado at Boulder. Before coming
to Cornell in the fall of 2002, he held appointments at several
universities in his native Spain. He teaches courses in nineteenth-
and twentieth-century Spanish and Spanish American poetry and nonfiction
prose. His current research focuses on the impact of John Keats’s
poetry and poetics on major twentieth-century Hispanic authors,
from Colombian Guillermo Valencia to Spaniard Carlos Bousoño,
as well as on Octavio Paz’s contacts with, and appropriation
of, Anglo-American poetic traditions. He has also published several
essays on the poetry of Garcilaso de la Vega and of the Enlightenment
polymath Gaspar Melchor de Jovellanos, and has an ongoing interest
in the work of William Carlos Williams, to which he has devoted
numerous scholarly articles.
