Jonathan Wade

Jonathan Wade is a Professor in the Department of World Languages and Cultures at Meredith College. His work focuses on early modern Iberian literature, particularly the intersection of language, politics, and identity during Spain's annexation of Portugal (1580-1640). His notable publication, Being Portuguese in Spanish (2020), explores cultural cross-pollination during this period, published by Purdue University Press.

Research interests include analyzing how Portuguese authors navigated literary production in Spanish, addressing themes of cultural hybridity and national identity. The book repositions understudied works within broader historical contexts, emphasizing their relevance to contemporary discussions on language politics and colonialism.
