After graduating in Hispanic Philology at Universitat de València, I received my PhD in Spanish Philology at the same center in 2008. The excellence of the academic training received earned me the obtaining the Extraordinary Prize for Bachelor and the Extraordinary Prize for Doctorate. I received a Collaboration Scholarship and a FPU Research Scholarship in 2001-02 and 2002-2006, respectively. At the present, I am Associate Professor at the Universitat de València. The quality of my research has been recognized with two sexenios from the Spanish CNEAI agency (covering the period of 2006-2018). Moreover, the teaching experience carried out has enabled me to obtain “Excellent” in two periods evaluated according to the DOCENTIA program appraisal.

The main line of my research studies has been the Spanish classical theater, which I have approached from four complementary perspectives:

1. Studying handwritten transmission of classical theatrical texts, the theatrical genres and the metric in the Spanish Golden Age dramaturgy. My monograph on the theatrical collection of the Count of Gondomar (Iberoamericana, 2014) addressed, for the first time, in a comprehensive way the study of a set of 36 profane manuscript comedies, essential to historicize the formative stage of the Comedia Nueva. The results of the research are a relevant contribution to the panoramic understanding of the dramatic production of the period 1580-1590 and have become a reference for the numerous subsequent works performed by other researchers.

2. Critical edition of classical theatrical heritage. I have edited dramatical texts from Lope de Vega, Mira de Amescua, María de Zayas or Juan Pérez de Montalbán, published in the prestigious Gredos or Reichenberger.

3. Digital Humanities applied to Spanish classical theatre. In this sense, I specifically highlight the line of research on distant readings and visualization as an opportunity for data mining on the early modernity performance practice. I have addressed this investigation line in my recent publications.

4. Research about didactics heritage and digital approaches, which has materialized in transference activities within and outside the classroom. I have participated in four teaching innovation projects and I have directed two teaching innovation research projects elected for funding at public competitive calls.

From the beginning of my career, I am member of scientific team in several research projects with public funding, among them CATCOM/DICAT (PI Teresa Ferrer Valls) and TC/12 macroproject (Coord. Joan Oleza), Consolider program.

I have extensive experience in organizing congresses (more than five are international) and I regularly participate as a reviewer of articles in relevant national and international journals. Between 2016 and 2021, I directed Diablotexto Digital scientific journal and I am currently co-director of the DTD_iLAB Social Innovation Laboratory.

I have participated as a member of the evaluating committee of more than ten doctoral thesis and I co-direct a doctoral thesis by PhD Bernardita Domange (2022).

During the last years, I have assumed university management tasks, of progressive responsibility, carrying out the positions, among which are: Secretary of the Department of Spanish Philology from 2016 to 2019; member of Coordinator’s Team of the Degree in Hispanic Studies from 2014 to October 2016 and from 2019 to 2022. From 2022, I am Director of the Master's in Advanced Hispanic Studies.

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.

[Biography, english version]

Teresa Ferrer Valls is a Spanish literature professor at the Department of Spanish Philology of the Universitat de València, where she has been teaching since 1986. Her research activity has been awarded six six-year periods by the CNEAI and her projects have been funded uninterruptedly to this day and have facilitated the training and incorporation into the professional career of several generations of fellows. His evaluation of teaching within the Docentia program has earned the qualification of Excellent.

Professor Ferrer’s research focuses on the Spanish theatre of the Golden Age. One of his lines of work is related to the study of courtesan scenic practice and gave rise to a book and a series of articles, highly cited, that appear among the reference publications in theatre stories and specialized bibliographies. The book La práctica escénica cortesana: de la época del emperador a la de Felipe III (1991) contributed to the rethinking of courtesan theatrical activity prior to the reign of Philip IV, a period previously neglected by critics. Another of his lines of research is linked to the theatrical patronage of the nobility and had its origin in the discovery of the complete documentation, unpublished at the time, related to the assignment to Lope de Vega of a dramatic work, documentation published in Nobleza y espectáculo teatral 1535-1622: estudio y documentos (1993). In this line of work, he has published articles and book chapters related to the genre of genealogical dramas and the patronage of the nobility and the relationship between history and theatre. Another of her lines of work has focused on theatre written by women in the 17th century. His contributions began when Spain had not yet aroused interest in gender studies and contributed to giving a global vision of the work of a small, but significant, group of playwrights and are today part of the specialized repertoires. He has carried out studies on different authors (Cristóbal de Virués, Lope de Vega, Calderón, Luis Vélez de Guevara, Juan Pérez de Montalbán, Rodrigo de Herrera...), editing some of the most representative works of the period. He also works in the field of Digital Humanities and since 1995 he has directed the theatrical research group DICAT, which has been a pioneer in the development of databases applied to the study of classical Spanish theatre as DICAT. Diccionario de actores del teatro clásico español (2008), a large database published in 2008 after fifteen years of work and published in 2023 in open, or CATCOM. Base de datos de comedias mencionadas en la documentación teatral (1540-1700). His research group was one of the twelve that integrated the Consolider TC/12 project. Classical Spanish theatrical heritage. Texts and research instruments, coordinated by Joan Oleza. He participated, with a group of researchers and ant engineers, led by Joan Oleza, in the virtual reconstruction of the old Corral de La Olivera in Valencia. In 2019, it promoted the ASODAT. Bases de datos integradas del teatro clásico español, a database federation that brings together groups from various universities to date. It has also obtained funding for educational innovation projects that have served to disseminate research within and outside the classroom by digital means. The result of this line was the electronic edition of the comedy La traición en la amistad by María de Zayas, the archive La práctica escénica en imágenes or the teaching tool El teatro clásico español: materiales docentes multimedia.

She is regularly required as an expert in the evaluation of research by different agencies nationally and internationally, and has been part of the National Commission for the Evaluation of Research Activity. He is a member of several scientific committees of journals and publishers of excellence. He has been a member of juries that have awarded prizes to literary creation and research.
