Professor Lledó-Guillem’s main area of research is the history of the Spanish and Catalan languages from ideological, political, and cultural perspectives. His publications have focused on the Middle Ages and, especially, on the Early Modern Period, with occasional incursions into the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries. Apart from his publications on language ideology and the history of Spanish and Catalan languages, he has also published on Catalan chronicles, Neoplatonism in literature, Mysticism, epic poetry, and queer theory. In addition, he is a specialist on the work of Bernardo de Aldrete (1565-1654). Dr. Lledó-Guillem is the author of two book monographs: Literatura o imperio: La construcción de las lenguas castellana y catalana en la España renacentista (Juan de la Cuesta, 2008) and The Making of Catalan Linguistic Identity in Medieval and Early Modern Times (Palgrave Macmillan, 2018) https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-319-72080-7. This second monograph, in which the history of Catalan is told vis-à-vis its relationship with Occitan, was later published in Spanish as La formación de la identidad lingüística catalana (siglos XIII-XVII) (Marcial Pons, 2019) https://www.marcialpons.es/libros/la-formacion-de-la-identidad-linguistica-catalana-siglos-xiii-xvii/9788416662890/.
