He published on a wide range of topics, including book ownership, textual editing and criticism, the Moriscos of Villarrubia and, more generally, of the Campo de Calatrava, biographies of the poets Diego de Silva y Mendoza, Count of Salinas, and Gabriel Bocángel and critical editions of their works; a biography of the Princess of Eboli, the letters of the Count of Salinas and of the Princess of Eboli, and an edition of Salinas's unknown poetry.
