Her book, The Moor and the Novel: Narrating Absence in Early Modern Spain (Palgrave Macmillan, 2013) engages both literature and history to uncover fundamental connections between nationalist violence, religious identity, and the birth of the novel. She has published articles on Cervantes, Ginés Pérez de Hita, and the music of early modern Spain. She is currently working on an array of projects, including a book-length comparison of the empire-wide celebrations (literary, theatrical, and musical) surrounding the birth of the Hapsburg Prince, Felipe Próspero (1657).
