Christopher Soufas' field of research is early twentieth century Spanish literature and European modernism.  He was among the first to advocate the adoption of the period concept modernism, prominent in other European national literatures, in relation to early contemporary Spanish literature.  His new book, The Subject in Question:  Early Contemporary Spanish Literature and Modernism, which was supported by a Guggenheim Fellowship, is the synthesis of the ground-breaking efforts of his earlier books, Conflict of Light and Wind: The Spanish 'Generation of 1927' and the Ideology of Poetic Form and Audience and Authority in the Modernist Theater of Federico Garcia Lorca.

Soufas has also published three edited volumes, on contemporary critical theory, interdisciplinary approaches to Spanish literature, and the contemporary Spanish novel.  The author of 50 articles and 70 scholarly papers on a variety of subjects from the Baroque to the 21st century, his work has appeared in journals such as PMLA, MLN, Hispanic Review, Bulletin of Spanish Studies, Word and Image, Gestos, and Anales de la literatura Espanola contemporanea.  He currently serves on the editorial boards of College Literature and Anales de la literature espanola contemporanea.
