Lia Schwartz

Schwartz published numerous articles, reviews and review-articles on topics, genres and themes that were central in her main area of expertise, Renaissance and Baroque poetry and prose, which encompass love discourses, satire, Hispano-classical translations and relations, Italian influences on European literature, humanism and the transmission of Greek and Roman culture. They appeared in American and European scholarly journals and collective volumes. Her publications include, Metafora y satira en la obra de Quevedo (Madrid: Taurus, 1984); Quevedo: discurso y representación (Pamplona 1987); two annotated anthologies of Quevedo's poetry, co-authored with Ignacio Arellano, Quevedo. Poesia selecta (Barcelona: PPU, 1989) and Un Heráclito cristiano, Canta sola a Lisi y otros poemas (Barcelona: Crítica, 1998).

She was co-editor, with Antonio Carreira, of a collection of essays on Quevedo, Quevedo a nueva luz: escritura y política (Málaga, 1997). She is also the author of the critical and annotated edition of Quevedo's satire, La Fortuna con seso y la Hora de todos, based on the only extant manuscript now in the Hispanic Society of America (Madrid: Editorial Castalia, 2009), and also of a former edition published in the collection of the complete prose works of Quevedo (Madrid, 2003), based upon printed testimonies.
