Enlightened Reform in Southern Europe and its Atlantic Colonies, c. 1750-1830
Efforts to ascertain the influence of enlightenment thought on state action, especially government reform, in the long eighteenth century have long provoked stimulating scholarly quarrels. Generations of historians have grappled with the elusive intersections of enlightenment and absolutism, of political ideas and government policy. In order to complement, expand and rejuvenate the debate which has so far concentrated largely on Northern, Central and Eastern Europe, this volume brings together historians of Southern Europe (broadly defined) and its ultramarine empires. Each chapter has been explicitly commissioned to engage with a common set of historiographical issues in order to reappraise...

Fernando VI y la España discreta
Las referencias a los reyes Fernando VI y Bárbara de Braganza en la historiografía suelen ser tan escasas como previsibles. Los pocos estudios que reparan en los monarcas, en su labor política y en su vida, comienzan todavía hoy lamentado su desconocimiento y terminan con lo más divulgado: la locura de un rey que no pudo vivir una vez muerta su mujer. El reinado de Fernando VI parece una "sala de espera" hasta que la llegada de Carlos III iniciase la serie de las grandes reformas del Despotismo Ilustrado. Sin embargo, la contabilidad del reinado presenta muchos aspectos positivos. No solo "el beneficio de la paz" y la restauración de la hacienda pública, sino la creación del Real Gir...
