RESEARCH INTERESTS
Prof.
Miguel-Pueyo is interested mainly in Spanish Modern literature of 19th-century,
and its relationship with other European literatures and fines arts. He studies
the meaning of color and its relationship between painting, music and
literature in Romantic European writers.
He
also studies the theater of the 18th-century, analyzing the concepts
of “nation” and “nationalism” as a way of construction of Spanish “identities”.
BOOKS
• El color del romanticismo: en busca de un arte total [The Color of Romanticism: in
Search of a Total Art]. New York: Peter Lang, 2009.
This book focuses on the relationship and meaning of the
“blue” color, in Romantic writers such as Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer and Novalis.
He explores how the Romantic writers, mainly in Spain, Germany, and France, use
painting techniques to express what they cannot with the mere language made of
words.
• Oyendo a Bécquer: el color de la música en de los ‘cuadros sinfónicos’
del poeta romántico. [Listening
to Bécquer: the Color of the Music in the Romantic ‘Symphonic Paintings] (near
