“All the world 's a stage, and all the men and women merely players.
They have their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts"
- (Act II, Scene VII).
- Shakespeare, As You Like It
Elizabeth Lagresa received her BA in Comparative Literature and Economics International Area Studies (Concentration: Europe) from the University of California, Los Angeles. She is currently a first-year MA/PhD student in the Department of Comparative Literature at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Elizabeth's research interests include Spanish, English and Italian early modern literature, with a particular focus on Spanish Baroque and colonial Latin American literature. Some of the topics she is interested in researching are how societies/nations affirm and reshape their identity and values through literature; how gender roles developed from antiquity through the Renaissance, as exemplified through literature and the visual arts; translation studies focusing on the domain of cross-cultural communication, and how connotations (semantic, cultural, historical, etc.) and interactions of words shape the textual context of the work.
