Biography
Doctor in Hispanic Philology (November 1996) with a thesis that deals with The Valencian Focus at the dawn of the modern novel.  The research has continued to expand with works on the narrative work of Pablo de Olavide, Pedro Montengón, Antonio Eximeno, Vicente Martínez Colomer, Luis Gutiérrez, Francisco Brotons, Pascual Pérez Rodríguez, Juan Arolas and Vicente Boix. The reflection on contemporary Spanish literature has materialized in studies on Melchor Gaspar de Jovellanos, Leandro Fernández de Moratín, Joaquín Lorenzo Villanueva, José Cadalso, José Marchena, Mariano José Larra, Gertrudis Gómez de Avellaneda, Leopoldo Alas, Pío Baroja, Luis Landero and Jorge Semprun. Other regular spaces for analysis have been that of Valencian writers, booksellers and editors: Brusola, José de Orga, Mariano Cabrerizo, Venancio Oliveres, Domingo y Mompié, Manuel Fuster y Membrado, Pedro Sabater. He has published in accredited international magazines (Olivar, Dieciocho, ehumanista) and national magazines (Cuadernos de Estudios del Siglo XVIII, Cuadernos de Illustration y Romanticismo, diablotexto, Quaderns de Filologia, Stichomythia).

Participation in different funded research projects has materialized in different articles on the first peninsular theater, the theatrical figure of the rustic pastoral, the theater of the 18th century (Nicolás and Leandro Fernández de Moratín, Olavide and Manuel Lassala) and the theater of the Triennium Liberal.

The latest publications are dedicated to examining the concerns of the 18th century Spanish literati on the bench of the Inquisition: Olavide, Father Isla, Samaniego, Moratín. In addition to reviewing the classic interpretations of Miguel de la Pinta Llorente, the ideological similarity of the Inquisition and Franco's censorship has also been highlighted, represented by the Augustinian Miguel de la Pinta, whose vicissitudes in the civil war marked the guidelines of the reactionary ideological model.
