This is the personal website of Vincent Barletta. I’m a professor of Iberian and Latin American cultures at Stanford University, where I teach late medieval and early modern Iberian literatures. My research focuses on Renaissance Portugal, empire and language, pastoral literature, and anthropological approaches to literature. My current book project, Rhythm: A Poetics of Patience, examines specific theories of rhythm in writers ranging from Aeschylus to Luís de Camões. Born in Chico, CA and raised in the East Bay, I now live in Palo Alto with my wife and two daughters.
