- ‘This diplomatic edition of Juan de Valdés's Dialogo de la Lengua will be of particular interest for Valdesian scholars, but is well worth careful consideration by late medievalists and early modernists working on language and linguistics, geopolitical and cultural exchanges between Italy and Spain, and those exploring the regional tensions in Iberia in terms of cultural, religious and political supremacy.’ — Ana Grinberg, Sixteenth Century Journal XLVII.2, 2016, 481-82

New Translations 9•15 November 2016
- ‘La estimable traducción al inglés de Los jueves de Leila, por parte de los profesores Duncan Wheeler y Diana Holmes, uno de los más conocidos relatos de Corín Tellado y que inicia la serie: “Querer es poder”, abre la puerta al género romántico de esta prolí ca escritora asturiana al mundo anglosajón.’ — Estefanía Tocado, Hispania 101.2, June 2018, 344-45
- ‘Wheeler’s translation of Thursdays with Leila captures the informal, non-demanding style of Tellado’s writing, and this particular novel was a very good choice for translation as it illustrates most of the dominant characteristics of her fiction.’ — Patricia O’Byrne, Bulletin of Spanish Studies 95, 2018, 905-06

Ramón María del Valle Inclán, Savage Comedies
Translated and edited by Christopher Colbath and Luis M. González
New Translations 15•18 March 2022
- ‘Gracias a este nuevo volumen que nos ofrece la Modern Humanities Research Association, el público de habla inglesa tendrá la oportunidad de adentrarse en el universo valleinclaniano, disfrutar de la lectura de las Comedias bárbaras, y valorar las importantes contribuciones hechas por Valle-Inclán a la literatura española y al teatro modernista europeo.’ — Mercedes Tasende, Bulletin of Spanish Studies 99, 2022, 915-16
- ‘Colbath and González explain that in translating the three texts their principal aim was to “be faithful first and foremost to the uncanny and beautiful atmospheres conjured up in the text” (16) and their success in this endeavor is to be applauded. Noting Valle-Inclán’s rich polyphonic style, they point to the texts’ abrupt transitions among discursive registers: colloquialisms shift into courtly language which then shifts into archaic diction. Colbath and González handle these linguistic challenges deftly, producing a translation that is both readable and protective of the linguistic diversity of the original. Difficult for native speakers of Spanish, Valle-Inclán’s language is very challenging for non-native speakers. Colbath and González’s translation opens up the late nineteenth-century world created by Valle-Inclán to both an English-reading general audience and students interested in Valle-Inclán and his particular take on literary modernism.’ — Elizabeth Drumm, Hispania 106.2, June 2023, 343-44 (full text online)

Narrative and National Allegory in Rómulo Gallegos's Venezuela
Jenni M. Lehtinen
MHRA Texts and Dissertations 88•31 January 2013
- ‘Lehtinen’s book will remain an indispensable contribution to the critical corpus on Gallegos and to Venezuelan studies in general.’ — Juan Pablo Lupi, Bulletin of Spanish Studies 93, 2016, 543
- ‘Lehtinen’s book is of interest to established Gallegos scholars and students alike, both accessible and offering up new critical insights. Moreover, it should also be on the radar of Venezuelan scholars more generally, since it is a study that requires us to consider how contemporary and future Venezuelan authors respond to, perpetuate, or depart from the narrative strategies and trajectories traced in and through Gallegos’s œuvre.’ — Nicholas Roberts, Modern Language Review 111.4, October 2016, 1151-52 (full text online)
