Sometimes, reading 400-year-old Spanish for the first time can be challenging, so she incorporates digital humanities activities that help students see what is important, what themes emerge through repetition and how these ideas connect across a text or a series of texts. Dr. Cowling is also intrigued by the way that performance and adaptation can affect our understanding of a text, from the perspectives of both spectator and performer. | Sixteenth-century peninsular literature, early modern theatre, the Golden Age, Cervantes studies, gender studies, digital humanities
