Carme Font

Carme Font is lecturer in English literature at Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona, Spain. She is the author of "Women's Prophetic Writings in Seventeenth-century Britain", by Routledge.

A specialist in British literature of the long seventeenth century, in particular women's prophetic writing, poetry and religious prose, her research is sensitive to the cultural reception of seventeenth-century women's writing within the European context, as well as theoretical aspects of early modern women's intellectual history, literary misogyny and invisibility.

Literature has always been a passion for Carme. Her early professional background as a literary translator and reader for publishers contributed to her interest in the continuities between texts, ideas, and editorial practices from the past to the present. She is also drawn by teaching methodologies of advanced reading and creative writing practice, which she has been sharing for several years now in writers’ workshops.
