Living the Comedia

Amy Williamsen (1959-2019) was a beloved teacher, scholar, colleague and mentor to those fortunate enough to have known and worked with her during her magnificent career at Occidental College (1985-1989), the University of Arizona (1989-2011), and the University of North Carolina Greensboro (2011-2019). Her impressive publication record includes the monograph Co(s)mic Chaos: Exploring Los trabajos de Persiles y Sigismunda (Juan de la Cuesta, 1994), five co-edited volumes (The University Press of the South published one of them, Engendering the Early Modern Stage) and dozens of articles. The essays collected in this volume reflect both the substance and impact of her professional legacy. They are linked by their thematic resonance with Amy’s own eclectic scholarship: Living the Comedia reflects her passion for Spanish Golden Age literature as a series of complex, lived cultural experiences. By presenting the scholarship of prominent established and emerging voices in the field of Early Modern Spanish studies, this volume demonstrate the deep appreciation of a community of scholars that continue to draw inspiration from her.
