MARIA JOSE ALONSO VELOSO

María José Alonso Veloso is a Professor at the University of Santiago de Compostela's Faculty of Philology, specializing in Spanish Language and Literature, Theory of Literature, and General Linguistics. She earned her doctorate from the University of Vigo with a thesis on Quevedo's satirical poetry (2003). Her research focuses on Francisco de Quevedo, Spanish Golden Age literature, and 17th-century literary controversies, particularly manuscript transmission and textual criticism.

Key contributions include studies on Quevedo's peripheral poetry (musa décima), the anonymous criticism of Lope de Vega's Isidro, and the censorship of Quevedo's Política de Dios. She co-edited critical editions of Quevedo's works (Poesía completa, Obras completas en prosa) and contributed to projects like the Quevedo's silvas edition. Her work often combines textual analysis with historical context, examining manuscript sources, authorship attribution, and the reception of early modern texts.

Publications span poetry analysis, literary criticism, and historical reception studies. Notable works explore Quevedo's interactions with contemporaries like Lope de Vega and Góngora, as well as the impact of censorship and manuscript circulation on literary works. She also researches Gracián's manuscripts and the broader context of Baroque poetry in Spain and Europe.
