Episcopado y secularización en la España del siglo XIX
Episcopado y secularización en la España del siglo XIX constituye una aportación singular al análisis de dicho fenómeno social. El libro está estructurado en cinco apartados. El primero plantea el marco general de la secularización en Francia y España. El segundo trata el impacto de la revolución liberal en la Iglesia española. El tercero analiza la visión del episcopado del proceso de secularización y los medios propuestos para frenarlo. El cuarto se dedica a conocer la evolución de las prácticas religiosas en este siglo. En las conclusiones se remarca el papel de la Iglesia ante la secularización creciente. Los obispos creen que provoca la indiferencia religiosa y el abandono de las conductas cristianas. Las nuevas doctrinas (socialismo, comunismo, anarquismo, masonería y laicismo), derivadas del liberalismo, conducen inexorablemente a la descristianización y al ateísmo práctico.
Tarragona, mayo-junio 1811
¿Qué papel tuvieron los asedios de ciudades en la guerra peninsular y en la estrategia napoleónica? El sitio y asalto de Tarragona de 1811 es el episodio más dramático de la historia de la ciudad imperial. Poco conocido, fuera del ámbito local y de Cataluña, a diferencia de otros sitios como el de Gerona, Zaragoza, Ciudad Rodrigo, Évora o Almeida, tuvo una honda repercusión en el desarrollo de la contienda, en el Primer Ejército y en la sociedad civil. ¿Cómo gestionaron la crisis las autoridades civiles y militares y cómo se desarrolló la vida cotidiana aquellos días? ¿Qué papel ejercieron las mujeres? ¿Quiénes fueron los responsables de la pérdida de Tarragona? Aprovecha...
Scots and Catalans
A landmark account that reveals the long history behind the current Catalan and Scottish independence movements A distinguished historian of Spain and Europe provides an enlightening account of the development of nationalist and separatist movements in contemporary Catalonia and Scotland. This first sustained comparative study uncovers the similarities and the contrasts between the Scottish and Catalan experiences across a five-hundred-year period, beginning with the royal marriages that brought about union with their more powerful neighbors, England and Castile respectively, and following the story through the centuries from the end of the Middle Ages until today’s dramatic events.

The Spanish Arcadia
The Spanish Arcadia analyzes the figure of the shepherd in the sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Spanish imaginary, exploring its centrality to the discourses on racial, cultural, and religious identity. Drawing on a wide range of documents, including theological polemics on blood purity, political treatises, manuals on animal husbandry, historiography, paintings, epic poems, and Spanish ballads, Javier Irigoyen-García argues that the figure of the shepherd takes on extraordinary importance in the reshaping of early modern Spanish identity. The Spanish Arcadia contextualizes pastoral romances within a broader framework and assesses how they inform other cultural manifestations. In doing so, Irigoyen-García provides incisive new ideas about the social and ethnocentric uses of the genre, as well as its interrelation with ideas of race, animal husbandry, and nation building in early modern Spain.
Southern Europe in the Age of Revolutions
An examination of revolutions in the Iberian and Italian peninsulas, Sicily and Greece in the 1820s that reveals a popular constitutional culture in the South After the turbulent years of the Napoleonic Wars and the Congress of Vienna’s attempt to guarantee peace and stability across Europe, a new revolutionary movement emerged in the southern peripheries of the continent. In this groundbreaking study, Maurizio Isabella examines the historical moment in the 1820s when a series of simultaneous uprisings took the quest for constitutional government to Portugal, Spain, the Italian peninsula, Sicily and Greece. Isabella places these events in a broader global revolutionary context and, decente...

Dead Men Telling Tales
Dead Men Telling Tales is an original account of the lasting cultural impact made by the autobiographies of Napoleonic soldiers over the course of the nineteenth century. Focusing on the nearly three hundred military memoirs published by British, French, Spanish, and Portuguese veterans of the Peninsular War (1808-1814), Matilda Greig charts the histories of these books over the course of a hundred years, around Europe and the Atlantic, and from writing to publication to afterlife. Drawing on extensive archival research in multiple languages, she challenges assumptions made by historians about the reliability of these soldiers' direct eyewitness accounts, revealing the personal and political...
Conscription in the Napoleonic Era
This edited volume explores conscription in the Napoleonic era, tracing the roots of European conscription and exploring the many methods that states used to obtain the manpower they needed to prosecute their wars. The levée-en-masse of the French Revolution has often been cited as a ‘Revolution in Military Affairs’, but was it truly a ‘revolutionary’ break with past European practices of raising armies, or an intensification of the scope and scale of practices already inherent in the European military system? This international collection of scholars demonstrate that European conscription has far deeper roots than has been previously acknowledged, and that its intensification during the Napoleonic era was more an ‘evolutionary’ than ‘revolutionary’ change. This book will be of much interest to students of Military History, Strategic Studies, Strategic History and European History.
