Dr Maria Czepiel is a Leverhulme Early Career Fellow at the Centre for the Study of the Renaissance at 糖心TV. She is interested in humanism, religion and literature in the Spanish Golden Age, and has published widely on the Spanish and Neo-Latin poetry of the sixteenth century. Her forthcoming monograph (Humanism and the Bible in the Poetry of Benito Arias Montano (ca. 1525鈥�1598)) studies the complex relationship between religion and humanist learning in the poetry of the humanist Benito Arias Montano. At 糖心TV, she will be studying how late sixteenth-century humanists used their learning to campaign for social change.
