Rodrigo鈥檚 research focuses on Renaissance and Baroque cultures and Spanish American colonial literature. His scholarship has been concerned with literary genres such as burlesque and epic poetry, and the works of Francisco de Quevedo. It also treats aspects related to the transmission of culture in the early modern period, including interdisciplinary approaches such as theory of painting and the art of memory. These last are studied particularly in his monograph听听(2012). The relationship between art and literature is another area of his research, with a particular interest in painters such as Diego Vel谩zquez and Juan de Vald茅s Leal. He also works on colonial poetry, especially on the emergence of literary communities in the New World. He has recently co-edited a volume on this subject (2019).
