Nineteenth Century Spain : A New History, Hardback Book

Nineteenth Century Spain : A New History Hardback

Part of the Routledge/Canada Blanch Studies on Contemporary Spain series

Hardback

Description

Nineteenth century Spain deserves wider readership.

Bedevilled by lost empires, wars, political instability and frustrated modernisation, the country appeared backward in relation to northern Europe and even in relation to much of its own geographical periphery.

This new history, the first survey of its kind in English in more than a hundred years, offers a fresh perspective on this century, showing how and why elements of backwardness and modernity ran in parallel through Spain.

Bounded by the military and imperial crises of 1808 and 1898, this study pays special attention to the experience of war on politics and society, and integrates the latest historical debates in its analysis.
