History of the Inquisition of Spain
"A History of the Inquisition of Spain" in 4 volumes is one of the best-known works by the American historian Henry Charles Lea. The Spanish Inquisition (officially known as the "Tribunal of the Holy Office of the Inquisition") was established in 1478 by Catholic Monarchs Ferdinand II of Aragon and Isabella I of Castile. It was intended to maintain Catholic orthodoxy in their kingdoms and to replace the Medieval Inquisition, which was under Papal control. It became the most substantive of the three different manifestations of the wider Catholic Inquisition along with the Roman Inquisition and Portuguese Inquisition. The Inquisition was originally intended primarily to identify heretics among...

Borrowed Words
The book contends that the acceptance of translation and imitation in the literary life of a country does not imply denying the specific conditions created by political borders in the constitution of a national literature, that is, the existence of national borders framing literary life. What it does is recognize new and different frontiers that destabilize the national confines (as well as the nationalistic values) of literary history. In translation and imitation, borders are experienced not as the demarcation of otherness, but rather as crossroads in the quest for identity."--Jacket.

A History of the Inquisition of Spain - Volume IV
This fourth and final volume mainly continues where Volume III left off. This book continues to explore the areas the inquisition had influence and the way it found out how heretics emerged and worked in the respective fields the inquisition caught them in. Although the methods were brutal and the victims often innocent, the inquisition shows how thorough it was when dealing with these "sins." And then finally, Lea shows us the steady decline of the inquisition after the wars of Napoleon and how they tried to survive but failed.
Apologia and Criticism
This book is the first modern overview of the history of historiography in Spain. It covers sources from Juan de Mariana's History of Spain, written at the end of the sixteenth century, up to current historical writings and their context. The main objective of the book is to shed light on the continuities and breaks in the ways that Spanish historians represented ideas of Spain. The concept of historiography used is wide enough to span not only academic works and institutions but also public uses of history, including the history taught in schools. The methodology employed by the author combines the tradition of studies of national identity with those of historiography. One of the key themes in the book is the role of the historical profession in Spain and its influence on national discourse from the nineteenth century onwards.
La construcción de las historias de España
La historia no es sólo el tiempo largo a través del cual se han ido construyendo las realidades nacionales. La historia es en sí misma un signo de identidad nacional. La memoria de un pasado histórico común más o menos largo, con sus gloria y derrotas, con sus héroes y traidores, constituye sin duda uno de los ejes sobre los que gira cualquier identidad nacional que se precie. ¿Cuándo podemos hablar de historia nacional de España? ¿Cómo ha ido evolucionando la propia historiografía nacional a lo largo del tiempo? A la empresa de contestar a estas preguntas se han entregado los historiadores autores de este libro, que han recorrido desde el siglo XVI al siglo XX en diversas etapas, explicando el proceso de configuración de las historias de España, que naturalmente es paralelo a las múltiples maneras de entender el propio concepto de España, la propia realida nacional. En la selva inmensa de las muchas historias de España que se han escrito, el lector no sólo detectará qué ha buscado cada generación en la historia de España, sino la pluralidad de acepciones o interpretaciones de esa realidad que llamaron España.

The Diplomatic Enlightenment
Eighteenth-century Spain drew on the Enlightenment to reconfigure its role in the European balance of power. As its force and its weight declined, Spanish thinkers discouraged war and zealotry and pursued peace and cooperation to reconfigure the international Spanish Empire.
