Director of Graduate Studies in Spanish

ANDREW A. ANDERSON is Professor of Spanish in the Department of Spanish, Italian and Portuguese. He holds a BA, MA and DPhil from Oxford University. Before coming to Virginia, he taught at Oxford University and the University of Michigan. Specializing in later nineteenth-century and twentieth-century Peninsular literature, his research is principally concerned with Spanish poetry and theatre from the 1890s through to the 1930s. Professor Anderson has published ten books and critical editions of Spanish literature, over fifty articles, twenty-five bibliographies and thirty-five book reviews, and he has lectured extensively in the US, Canada, England, Scotland, France, and Spain. He is associate editor of the Boletín de la fundación Federico García Lorca and a member of the editorial board of Romance Quarterly. In 1995 he was awarded the Excellence in Research Award, and in 2000 the Michigan Humanities Award, both by the University of Michigan; in 1996-2000 he held an Honorary Research Fellowship at the Centre for the Study of the Hispanic Avant-Garde (University of Aberdeen); and he has received grants for his research from the British Academy, the American Philosophical Society and the Spanish Ministry of Culture. Professor Anderson is currently engaged on a long-term research project entitled 'The Spanish Historical Avant-Garde in Theory and Practice.'
