Spanish Catholicism
"This is the first complete history of Spanish Catholicism in English. The history of the Spanish church is rich, complex, and controversial, and this enormous undertaking by Stanley Payne is all the more praiseworthy in view of his determination not to limit his study to the church alone, but to investigate the relationship between the Catholic Church and Spanish culture and nationhood in general."--Isaac Aviv, Mediterranean Historical Review
The Splintering of Spain
This 2005 book explores the ideas and culture surrounding the cataclysmic civil war that engulfed Spain from 1936 to 1939. It features specially commissioned articles from leading historians in Spain, Britain and the US which examine the complex interaction of national and local factors, contributing to the shape and course of the war. They argue that the 'splintering of Spain' resulted from the myriad cultural cleavages of society in the 1930s that are investigated here at both local and national levels. Thus, this book tends to see the civil war less as a single great conflict between two easily identifiable sets of ideas, social classes or ways of life than historians have previously done. The Spanish tragedy, at the level of everyday life, was shaped by many tensions, both those that were formally political and those that were to do with people's perceptions and understanding of the society around them.
The Franco Regime, 1936–1975
The history of modern Spain is dominated by the figure of Francisco Franco, who presided over one of the longest authoritarian regimes of the twentieth century. Between 1936 and the end of the regime in 1975, Franco’s Spain passed through several distinct phases of political, institutional, and economic development, moving from the original semi-fascist regime of 1936–45 to become the Catholic corporatist “organic democracy” under the monarchy from 1945 to 1957. Distinguished historian Stanley G. Payne offers deep insight into the career of this complex and formidable figure and the enormous changes that shaped Spanish history during his regime.
La cultura catalana
Joan Samsó fa per primera vegada la història de la lluita silenciosa a favor de la cultura catalana duta a terme entre el 1939 i el 1951, fonamentalment a la ciutat de Barcelona. En aquest segon i darrer volum tracta de les revistes i de les editorials que continuaren, en la clandestinitat o en la tolerància sempre relativa, la vida de la cultura catalana.
Twentieth-Century Spain
A much-needed new overview of twentieth-century Spanish social and political history which sets developments within a European context.
Einstein in Spain
From 1900 to 1924 Spain experienced a stage of vigorous academic freedom and unfettered scientific inquiry that strikingly contrasted with the repressive atmosphere of the periods before and after. Thomas Glick explores this "recovery of science" by focusing on the national discussion provoked by Einstein's trip to Spain in 1923. His visit stimulated a debate on the nature and social value of science that was remarkable in a society so recently awakened to the scientific role in the process of modernization. Einstein's universal appeal created the unlikely occasion for a fascination with science that cut across social classes and previously established domains of discourse. The political Rig...
La custòdia de la parròquia de Sant Miquel de l'Espluga de Francolí
La custòdia gòtica de la parròquia de Sant Miquel de l'Espluga de Francolí va desaparèixer durant els primers dies de la Guerra Civil. El 1952, amb motiu del Congrés Eucarístic celebrat a Barcelona, Lluís Carulla i Canals promogué i s'encarregà de fer una nova custòdia per a la parròquia. Aquest treball està fornit de la història de la primera custòdia i dels seus trets artístics, de l'etapa de la seva realització i de la construcció del sol de vericle, de la situació local prèvia a la seva desaparició l'any 1936 i de tota la campanya d'aportacions i captació de donatius que va culminar en la custòdia nova —obra dels joiers Roig i Capdevila, de Barcelona—, així com de comparacions artístiques amb d'altres custòdies gòtiques de l'època de la de l'Espluga i, també, amb altres custòdies copó. Els autors, separadament, en el que els és més proper dels aspectes històric i artístic, aporten una obra monogràfica que vol ser un tribut als avantpassats espluguins del segle xv i als més recents que van fer possible la custòdia nova.
