J. Àngel Cano Mateu (l’Olleria, 1991) holds a PhD in Catalan Philology from the University of Valencia. His thesis, supervised by Dr. Carme Gregori, explores the literary journalism of Joan Fuster, specifically focusing on the essays the renowned Sueca-born writer published in Serra d'Or. This research has been published as a book titled Joan Fuster i Serra d'Or: els articles seriats (1968-1984) (Publicacions de la Universitat de València, 2022). Much of Cano's academic work has centered on Fuster’s writings and his intellectual legacy.

His research has appeared in journals like Brumal, 452ºF. Revista de Teoría de la Literatura y Literatura Comparada, Rivista Italiana di Studi Catalani, Catalonia or Scripta, and in collective volumes such as L’empremta del mite en la literatura del primer terç del segle XX (Publicacions de l’Abadia de Montserrat, 2018) or Reescriptures literàries. La hipertextualitat en les literatures occidentals (1900-1939) (Publicacions de l’Abadia de Montserrat, 2020).
