About the Author
Eric W. Vogt was born September 15, 1955 in Williamsburg, Virginia. An interesting beginning for one who would go on to become a professor of Golden Age Spanish literature. His passion for the literature of the two centuries of Spain's world empire has driven him to take original manuscripts from the period to produce several critical volumes of drama, poetry and music. He also loves the Spanish language for its own elegance and is passionate about teaching it and making it more teachable. He is unusual for a Ph.D. because he left academia to create and administer The American National Red Cross Biomedical Translation Bureau for three years. When he returned to academic life in the mid 1990s, he almost immediately published a critical edition and his own translation of St. Teresa of Avila's Complete Poetry -- with a foreword by His Eminence Jaime Cardinal L. Sin of the Republic of the Philippines. Dr. Vogt enjoys the freedom and opportunities for diffusing knowledge that the internet creates. In very real ways, it is a world that many Renaissance thinkers envisioned. He has taught international business communications as a member of the faculty of Thunderbird, The American Graduate School of International Management, including some time in Guadalajara, Jalisco. He also teaches privately, online, to specialists in various fields as well as courses to teach translation at www.spanishfacetoface.com. He keeps busy teaching classes on translation and reviewing books about translation. He frequently writes about language learning and translation on his blog: www.languagelearningtranslation.blogspot.com. However, his main passion of late has been writing books to help students and teachers of Spanish. He has published three books with McGraw-Hill dealing with aspects of Spanish grammar that are problematic for English speakers: the subjunctive, the pronoun system and the past tenses. He has also published a phrase book for tourists bound for Mexico. Stay tuned, too, because McGraw Hill has just asked him to write another to address the problem of irregular verbs!
