17th and 18th Century British Literature
I am a PhD student interested in English Literature and Humour Studies. Therefore, my research combines aims to understand and explain the concept of "Wit" typically present in the Restoration Comedies of the 17th century by analysing the genre of "comedies of manners". I am currently working on my PhD thesis, provisionally entitled "Wit and Society in Restoration Comedy of the 1660s and 70s" under the supervision of Dr. Jorge Figueroa Dorrego.
