Susan Byrne (World Languages and Cultures) has published an article titled, "A Restless Nature," in Humanities 14.4. The article looks at two Golden Age Spanish adaptations of Plotinian ideas on curiosity, and is part of a special issue of the journal Humanities dedicated to Curiosity and Modernity in Early Modern Spain. Byrne studies the resonance of Plotinus' thought in a verse work by San Juan de la Cruz, and in the opening scenes of Baltasar Gracián's Criticón.
