Overview
Rocío is interested in the dramatization and political re-deployments of Elizabethan rhetoric and imagery. With a focus on the Anglo-Spanish relationships during the Early Modern Period, her dissertation project examines the mechanisms of reception history to investigate the theoretical and conceptual topic of female sovereignty—paying particular attention to the early modern stage’s ability to generate some of the terms and tropes in which political power is theorized.
