Spain, Europe, and the 'Spanish Miracle', 1700-1900Cambridge University Press, 26 nov 1998 - 439 páginas In his important new study, David Ringrose re-examines the history of Spain in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. He challenges the conventional ways of framing that history, questions the importance of the empire for peninsular Spain, and suggests that some of the seemingly dramatic modernization of the nineteenth century was already under way in the eighteenth. In addition, the emergence of a governing elite is placed in the context of family and patronage networks. This challenging book will change our understanding of the history of modern Spain. |
