Verónica Hernández Landa Valencia

Born in Mexico City, in 1981, Verónica Hernández Landa Valencia is starting her career as a researcher in Mexican literature of the nineteenth century. Hernández has a master degree in Literature at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México —awarded with the medal Alfonso Caso—, and she is about to finish her Ph.D. —in the same university— with a dissertation about the representation of Colonial times in Mexican Historical Novels published in the period known as Restored Republic.

Participation in international congresses about literature, publications in academic journals and teaching undergraduates in the Faculty of Philosophy and Letters of the UNAM, have been part of Hernández’s academic activities in the last four years.

Her passion for history and literature encompass almost all areas of her life, so she is a member of a group of friends who get together to share their knowledge about Middle Ages. Sometimes they prepare medieval food or share stories about these ancient times.
