The Routledge Handbook of Spanish History
This handbook offers comprehensive coverage of the history of Spain, exploring key themes and events in four broad but not necessarily rigid temporal categories: medieval, early modern, nineteenth century and twentieth century. The volume situates Spanish history firmly within the broader patterns unfolding across the European continent, emphasizing Spain’s active participation in the processes that determined the development of modern European society. With chapters from leading scholars from both Spanish and international universities, the book helps fill long-standing gaps in European history. This handbook provides original contributions on broad themes in Spanish history which are also accessible syntheses of the most recent scholarship. Making the latest research in Spanish history more widely accessible to an international audience, The Routledge Handbook of Spanish History is an essential reference point for students and scholars of Spain, as well as those working in comparative European history.

Consequently, most of the human race doesn’t matter much to me, outside the normal and necessary frame of courtesy and the obligation to respect human rights. I see no reason t...
Valencia en la revolución (1834-1843)
Valencia en la revolución es un estudio histórico que analiza las transformaciones urbanas y sociales que provoca la revolución burguesa en la ciudad de Valencia. El libro, que obtuvo el Premi Senyera de Investigaciones Históricas del Ayuntamiento de Valencia en 1999, aborda en la primera parte los cambios urbanos impulsados por la burguesía desde el Ayuntamiento, en donde, a partir de una concepción pública del espacio urbano, se conjugan necesidades ciudadanas con negocios privados. En la segunda, desde un análisis cultural de la revolución burguesa, investiga las manifestaciones lúdicas de la sociedad valenciana a través del teatro, de los bailes o de los toros.
