Lecture by Professor José Antonio Rodríguez Garrido, Univ. Católica del Perú

Satiricón moralizado: Petronio en la obra de Juan de Espinosa Medrano (¿1629?-1688). 

Professor Rodríguez Garrido is a noted scholar of the literature of colonial Perú. He will offer new critical perspectives for examining how Juan de Espinosa Medrano (circa 1629 - 1688) adapted classic works. Espinosa Medrano rendered the Baroque poetics of Luis de Góngora into a distinctly American literary style and also adapted European dramatic models in the earliest Quechua theater.
