Maria Manuel Lisboa specializes in nineteenth- and twentieth-century Portuguese and Brazilian Literature, as well as some aspects of the Visual Arts, focusing on gender and national identity. She has published articles in all these areas as well as five monographs: two on Eça de Queirós, one on Machado de Assis, one on Paula Rego and one on comparative themes. Her second monograph on Eça de Queirós was the winner of the Prémio do Grémio Literário in 2008. Her most recent monograph, The End of the World: Apocalypse and its Aftermath in Western Culture, focuses on the theme of apocalyse in English, American and Portuguese literature and film. This book features in a recent University News article: 'Thinking the Unthinkable'.
