Daniela Omlor is an Associate Professor at the University of Oxford, focusing on Modern Spanish Peninsular Literature. Her research primarily investigates contemporary Spanish literature with particular emphasis on themes of memory, trauma, and exile. Omlor's monograph examined the role of memory and self-representation in the works of Jorge Semprún. Alongside Professor de Ros, she co-edited the volume 'María Zambrano: Cultural Agent'. Her current research explores the interaction between memory and fiction in recent novels by Javier Cercas, Javier Marías, and Antonio Muñoz Molina, particularly how these works address the recovery of historical memory in Spanish novels, raising ethical questions and interrogating the aesthetics of the novel form. In her teaching, she covers first-year literature and language courses, and specific papers on peninsular Spanish literature and autobiographical writing. Omlor encourages graduate students to engage with modern literature from Spain, especially in studies related to exile, memory, and trauma following the Spanish Civil War, and has supervised many doctoral students on various aspects of contemporary Spanish literature.
