After graduating in Hispanic Philology and Catalan Philology from the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, in 2016 she received her PhD in Spanish Philology from the same center, with Extraordinary Prize in all three degrees. Her doctoral thesis on Lope de Vega's Byzantine comedies, directed by Professors Alberto Blecua and Ramón Valdés, was supported by an FPU grant from the Ministry of Education, as well as grants for research stays in Oxford and Florence. Throughout his postdoctoral training, he enjoyed a research contract at the Université de Neuchâtel and two Juan de la Cierva state grants, the first at the Universitat de València and the second at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Currently, he is an assistant professor at the Department of Spanish Philology at the University of Valencia.

Throughout his academic career, his main line of research has been Lope de Vega’s theater and Spanish literature of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, which he has approached from three complementary perspectives:

1- Imitation and rewriting. The study of the creative process of Lope de Vega and other authors, particularly in relation to the Italian novella and the little known theater of the late sixteenth century, has led him to make a series of critical discoveries such as hitherto ignored textual sources.

2- Metrics, orthology and authorship. The analysis of the metrics and style of certain works has allowed him to correct erroneous attributions (La palabra vengada, La Otomana) to Lope de Vega, as well as to conform the corpus of playwrights today hardly remembered (Cepeda), but very relevant in the Golden Age.

3- Critical edition. To date, he has carried out a total of six critical editions, an essential task to complete the study of any work: he has edited five comedies by Lope de Vega (El maestro de danzar, La gallarda toledana, El Grao de Valencia, Virtud, pobreza y mujer and, together with Clara Monzó Ribes, Los bandos de Sena) and one by Loyola, Miseno, practically unknown today, but very important at the time, to the point that Lope even rewrote it, as he has been able to demonstrate.

His publications include a monograph on Lope's Byzantine comedies, the aforementioned critical editions and some thirty scientific articles published in some of the most renowned journals of international Hispanism (Bulletin Hispanique, RILCE, Bulletin of Hispanic Studies, Criticón, Boletín de la Real Academia Española, etc.), as well as more than a dozen book chapters published by national and international publishers (Leo S. Olschki, Renacimiento, Fondo de Cultura Económica or Visor).

On the other hand, he has coordinated a monograph for the Anuario Lope de Vega (2021), entitled "Los primeros años del teatro comercial en España y el primer Lope (1560-1598)", as well as Parte XX de las Comedias de Lope de Vega (Gredos, 2021), together with Guillermo Gómez Sánchez-Ferrer. Finally, in addition to having written numerous academic reviews and edited several monographic volumes, he has been part of the editorial committee of the RAE's edition of Don Quixote (2015), directed by Francisco Rico.

As for his intervention in congresses, seminars and conferences, he has given more than forty invited papers, communications or lectures in different European universities, and has been a member of different scientific and organizing committees.

He has also participated in different international research projects, among which stand out those of the PROLOPE group, one of the oldest in the Humanities; the CATCOM/DICAT project (Integrated databases of classical Spanish theater), directed by Teresa Ferrer Valls from the Department of Spanish Philology at the University of Valencia; the TC/12 macroproject, the only one in philology that has managed to be part of the Consolider program of the National R+D+I Plan; or "Verse Rhythm in Golden Age Spanish Poetry: Lope de Vega and Luis de Góngora's Romances", funded by the Fonds National Suisse de la Recherche Scientifique.

Regarding his teaching work, in addition to teaching undergraduate and master's degree classes at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, the Université de Neuchâtel and the Universitat de València, he has published several didactic editions of classics of the Golden Age, as well as selections and adaptations of canonical works of Spanish literature; and finally, he has participated in language and literature books for high school.

As for his poetic work, he is the author of the poetry collections Las cosas en su sitio (La Isla de Siltolá, 2018, Premio Antonio Colinas) and Las nubes se levantan (Pre-Textos, 2022, Premio Emilio Prados). He has also published poems and translations in magazines such as "21veintiúnversos", "Estación poesía", "Tintas" or "Anáfora", of which he is a regular contributor.

Professor of the Department of Spanish Philology, Universitat de València. Her research focuses on Latin American literature, Cultural Studies and Gender Studies.

Clara Monzó Ribes (1990) holds a PhD in Advanced Hispanic Studies (2019) and a degree in Hispanic Philology (2008-2013) from the University of Valencia. Her main lines of research focus on the literature of the Golden Age, mainly from three perspectives: the theatre of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, the dramaturgy of Calderón de la Barca (staging and acotations) and the generic transversality between the golden classics (Cervantes, El Lazarillo) and modernity. She advocates a multidisciplinary approach that combines theoretical-critical analysis with the editing and exploration of stage language. Her doctoral thesis on stages directions on calderonian theater, directed by Evangelina Rodríguez Cuadros and carried out thanks to an FPU grant from the Ministry of Education, obtained the qualification of ‘Sobresaliente Cum Laude’ and international mention and was awarded the Extraordinary Doctorate Prize (2023). She also holds the Extraordinary Master's Prize in Advanced Hispanic Studies (2013-2014). She has taught at the Universitat de València and the Universidad Complutense de Madrid. Previously, she held a postdoctoral research contract at the University of Vienna, where she carried out her scientific activity as part of the international project ‘Sound and Meaning in Spanish Golden Age Literature’ (FWF Austrian Science Fund P32563-G), funded by the Austrian government.

Her publications include several critical editions of Lope de Vega for the Partes de comedias, coordinated by Prolope group and published by Gredos, as well as an annotated didactic edition of Calderón's El alcalde de Zalamea. To date, he has numerous publications, including book chapters and articles, which have appeared in indexed journals and publishers included in the SPI index. In addition, she occasionally writes articles on classics as a contributor to the journal Contexto (ctxt).

In terms of internationalisation, she has undertaken research stays, supported by two FPU grants for pre-doctoral mobility: the University of Virginia (2016) and the Università Ca'Foscari in Venice (2017). In recent years, she has participated in several international conferences, seminars and research meetings and has been a speaker on other occasions.

She is part of the CATCOM research team, led by Teresa Ferrer Valls, and of the teaching innovation project ‘Mujeres y escritoras no canónicas de la literatura española e hispanoamericana: Fuentes bibliográficas para su didáctica e investigación en formato digital’ (Women and non-canonical writers in Spanish and Latin American literature: Bibliographic sources for teaching and research in digital format), led by Isabel Díez Ménguez (UCM). In the past, she has taken part in different research projects, including the macro-project ‘TC/12’ (the only one in philology in the Consolider programme of the National R+D+i Plan), the transversal project ‘Observatorio de Espacios Escénicos’ of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (which is part of the R+D+i Projects ‘Retos investigación’ of the Ministry of Science and Innovation) and the project based at the University of Vienna, mentioned above.

She is the author of the book of poems Llevar la casa (Isla Elefante, 2024).
