Rafael Castillo Bejarano is Visiting Assistant Professor at Saint Lawrence University, after having received his PhD from Brown University. His research explores literary and social shelf-fashioning from the work and life of the nobleman and courtly poet Juan de Tassis, Count of Villamediana, and his interaction with major Spanish Golden Age writers, such as Miguel [End Page 153] de Cervantes, Lope de Vega, or Luis de Góngora.
