After a long delay caused by the pandemic, the beautiful Routledge Hispanic Studies Companion to Early Modern Spanish Literature and Culture (edited by Rodrigo Cacho Casal and Caroline Egan. Routledge, Taylor and Francis Group, 2022) appeared in May of this year. My essay “Time of Catastrophe: Temporalities in the Transatlantic Relación of Diego Portichuelo de Ribadeneyra (1657)” includes a review of literature on early modern Spanish maritime texts and an analysis of Portichuelo de Ribadeneyra’s conscious shaping of time and space in his autobiographical nonfictional narrative.
