Ana Maria G. Laguna is Professor of Spanish and Golden Age Literature at Rutgers University-Camden, USA. She is also an Executive Member of the Cervantes Society of America and Associate Editor of their bulletin, Cervantes. She is the author of Cervantes and the Pictorial Imagination (2009) and co-editor (with John Beusterien) of the collected volume Goodbye Eros: Recasting Forms and Norms of Love in the Age of Cervantes (forthcoming in 2020).
Her research explores the relationship among literature, politics, and the visual arts, focusing on how literature reflects prominent artistic and socio-political anxieties. As a comparatist critic, she relates visual and verbal domains, multiple national traditions, and disparate chronologies, producing scholarship that expands the scope and impact of Spanish literary study.
