César Más Sánchez is a PhD researcher at the English Department of the University of Alicante. His project is funded by the Research and Knowledge Transfer Office of the University of Alicante (UAFPU22). At this university, he obtained a BA in English Studies in 2019 and a MA in Literary Studies (MaEsL) in 2020.

His thesis, supervised by Professors Sara Prieto and Remedios Perni, is titled My Reputation Precedes Me: Retellings of Fairy-Tale Villainesses in Gregory Maguire's Fiction. His main research focus lies in the fairy-tale retellings from a gender perspective and the representation of the wicked woman. In particular, he examines the villainess in traditional fairy tales, exploring themes such as the association between ugliness and wickedness, the vilification of women's power and liberation, and the moralistic punishment imposed on this character.

Furthermore, his research trajectory has been shaped by the study of the Oz universe created by L. Frank Baum and its reimagination in Gregory Maguire’s The Wicked Years series (1995–2025) and the Another Day trilogy (2021–2023). In addition, he has a keen interest in twenty-first-century film adaptations of fairy tales, the representation of witches in Western culture, and the Disney universe.
