About the Speaker:

Denise DuPont (PhD, Yale University, 1993) is Professor of Spanish at Southern Methodist University. Professor DuPont specializes in 19th- and early 20th-century Spanish literature, has a master’s degree in theology from Perkins School of Theology (2018), and has published three books: Realism as Resistance: Romanticism and Authorship in Galdós, Clarín, and Baroja, Writing Teresa: The Saint from Ávila at the fin-de-siglo, and Whole Faith: The Catholic Ideal of Emilia Pardo Bazán. Her latest research focuses on the international renaissance of spirituality and mysticism in the early decades of the twentieth century, and her current book project is Mystical Evolution: Juan G. Arintero’s Children of God in the Silver Age. This manuscript addresses the collaborations of Dominican theologian Juan G. Arintero (1860-1928) with lay and religious men and women, and the resulting promotion of the mystical life and the universal call to holiness.
