Biography
Suzanne Petersen, Associate
Professor of Spanish, completed her Ph.D. at the University of Wisconsin
- Madison in 1976. Her primary research interests include the Pan-Hispanic
Traditional Ballad (Romancero) and the poetics of orally transmitted
poetry. She has used computers since the early seventies to edit and
analyse portions of this vast body of poetry and is currently in the
process of publishing on-line her latest work in this area: an updated
Bibliography of the Pan-Hispanic Romancero as well as a textual database
that initially includes some 7000 versions of romances collected from
around the world from the 15th century to the present and an audio
archive of recordings of some 250 ballad versions collected in the
field since 1950. The bibliography, text, and music archives, all
regularly updated, are currently available on-line at http://depts.washington.edu/hisprom/.
Those who publish in the area of Hispanic and Pan-European Balladry
are invited to submit descriptions of their publications directly
from the project web site (http://depts.washington.edu/hisprom/biblio/index.php).
Professor Petersen is currently working to achieve better representation
for the Portuguese and Catalan traditions in the ballad archive and
to implement interactive querying capabilities that will perform statistical
analysis of primary and secondary ballad data and provide cartographic
display of their results.

Professional Biography
George Shipley, Associate
Professor of Spanish, received his Ph. D. degree from Harvard University
in 1968. His teaching and scholarship center on innovations in fictional
form, often in relation to social-historical circumstances, from the
last decades of the fifteenth century through the first decades of
the seventeenth. His several studies of Fernando de Rojas's La Celestina
(1499) examine the undermining of literary conventions and subversion
of social authority in that work. In a series of studies of Lazarillo
de Tormes Shipley recovers lost and silenced meanings of that text,
especially those that allude to the marginalizing of the "New Christians"
(those of Jewish and Moorish origins) and to tabood erotic experience.
In another series of interrelated articles, Shipley is studying the
tense friendship of Sancho Panza and Don Quixote by focusing on Sancho's
disguised aggressive hostility towards his esteemed master, first
expressed in chapter twenty of Part I of Don Quixote and then danced
out in related forms on later occasions. He also is preparing studies
of several of Cervantes's Novelas ejemplares.
