Considered one of the outstanding scholars of 18th- and 19th-century Spanish literature, Sebold has written numerous books, all in Spanish, including “The Rapture of the Mind: Poetry and Poetics in 18th Century Spain,” “Cadalso, Europe’s First Romantic” and “The Evolution of Spanish Romanticism.” He has also produced scholarly editions of works by many notable Spanish authors, including José Cadalso, Ignacio López de Ayala, Diego de Torres Villaroel and Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer.

Simply put, the field did not exist prior to Sebold’s seminal contributions.”
