Dominic Keown specialises in contemporary Hispanic culture. He has published widely on the ideological dimension of Catalan literature,
Sobre la poesia catalana contemporània (Valencia: Tres i Quatre, 1996),
Polifonia de la subversió: la veu col.lectiva de Vicent Andrés Estellés (Valencia:
Tandem, 2000), and
A Companion to Catalan Culture (London: Tamesis, 2011). He also writes on cinema from Spain with particular reference to Buñuel, Berlanga and Bigas Luna. His current interests extend to the interface between Catalan and Spanish creativity, transnational issues in the cultural production of Catalonia and the metacritical divide between Hispanism and Iberian Studies. He is the editor of the Journal of Catalan Studies and the Anglo-Catalan Society's Occasional Papers and the editor/translator of Salvat-Papasseit (1982; 2005), Ausiàs March (3 vols: 1986; 1989;
1993), Valle-Inclán (1991), Joan Fuster (1992; 2006) and J V Foix (1998).
