Republicanism and Anticlerical Nationalism in Spain
This book analyzes attempts by radical Spanish republicans to construct an anticlerical-nationalist vision of Spain, focusing in particular on the the mass production by the 'anticlertical industry' of newspapers, novels, poems, cartoons, posters, postcards and plays put out by republican muckrakers, journalists, and politicians.
Sacred Realism
In this thoughtful and compelling book, leading Spanish literature scholar Noël Valis re-examines the role of Catholicism in the modern Spanish novel. While other studies of fiction and faith have focused largely on religious themes, Sacred Realism views the religious impulse as a crisis of modernity: a fundamental catalyst in the creative and moral development of Spanish narrative.

Articulating the Ḥijāba: Cultural Patronage and Political Legitimacy in al-Andalus
In Articulating the Ḥijāba, Mariam Rosser-Owen analyses for the first time the artistic and cultural patronage of the ‘Amirid regents of the last Cordoban Umayyad caliph, Hisham II, a period rarely covered in the historiography of al-Andalus. Al-Mansur, the founder of this dynasty, is usually considered a usurper of caliphal authority, who pursued military victory at the expense of the transcendental achievements of the first two caliphs. But he also commissioned a vast extension to the Great Mosque of Cordoba, founded a palatine city, conducted skilled diplomatic relations, patronised a circle of court poets, and owned some of the most spectacular objects to survive from al-Andalus, in ivory and marble. This study presents the evidence for a reconsideration of this period.
