Profile

Christina H. Lee (B.A., UC Berkeley; Ph.D., Princeton University) is an Associate Research Scholar in Spanish and Portuguese. Her research focuses on the literatures and cultures of the Hispanic Early Modern period. She joined the faculty at Princeton in 2007 after teaching at Connecticut College, San Jose State, UC Berkeley, and Harvard University.

She teaches courses in the department of Spanish and Portuguese, the Council for the Humanities, and the Freshman Seminar Program. Her published scholarly work includes the first critical edition of Lope de Vega's Martires de Japón and several articles in peer-reviewed journals (i.e., Hispania, Bulletin of Spanish Studies, Cervantes).

Her current book-length monograph considers the representation of purity in Cervantes's prose fiction. She is also in the process of editing Western Visions of the Far East in a Transpacific Age (1522-1671), a collection of essays that aims to provide a broad perspective on how Western Europe made sense of a complex, multi-faceted, and by and large Sino-centered East and Southeast Asia.
