Empire Unbound
Empire Unbound argues that European empires were not the bounded, stable entities that imperialists imagined. Gavin Murray-Miller demonstrates that the era of 'new imperialism' which arose in the late 19th century fostered connections and synergies between regional powers that influenced the trajectories of imperial states in fundamental ways.
Salvador Canals
Salvador Canals fue un testigo cualificado de su época (1920-1975), en especial en dos importantes esferas de la historia de la Iglesia en el siglo XX: la Curia romana y el Opus Dei. Su biografía, por tanto, es historia de la Iglesia encarnada en una trayectoria personal. Canals nace en España, pero su vida discurrirá casi en su totalidad en Roma, en profunda unidad con el Papa y con san Josemaría. Allí vivirá durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial y, ya ordenado sacerdote, participará activamente en el Concilio Vaticano II y trabajará como juez del tribunal de la Rota romana, dejando una huella profunda de ayuda y amistad en numerosas personas.

Carlism and Crisis in Spain 1931-1939
This is a study in English of the Carlist Movement, the extreme right-wing party in Spain, during the climactic decade of the 1930s. Carlism represents the oldest existing movement of the traditionalist right in Europe. In 1931 Carlists had already been in conflict with Spanish liberalism and leftism for over a century, seeking to reverse the trends of the nineteenth century and restore a religiously inspired corporative monarchy and harmonious society. During the 1930s they attacked and plotted the overthrow of the democratic Second Republic, participated in the rising of 1936 and then played a major political and military role within Nationalist Spain. Dr Blinkhorn discusses Carlism's internal politics, power struggles and sources of support; its ideology; its relations with other elements in the Spanish right, principally Falangism and Catholic conservatism; its attitude towards the Republic, liberalism and the left; its view of contemporary events elsewhere in Europe; its stress on paramilitarism and conspiracy against the Republican regime; and its wartime role.

Influencers, Activists, and Women's Rights
The newspaper columnist Carmen de Burgos Seguí caused a sensation in 1903 when she called for a public discussion on divorce, then illegal in Spain. The fierce debate that ensued among Spain's leading thinkers--politicians, academics, feminists, journalists, and others--is collected in Divorce in Spain. This milestone volume ultimately contributed to Spain's legalizing divorce in the 1930s--a victory for women's rights that was subsequently rolled back by the Franco dictatorship and not regained for over fifty years. The opinions showcased here illuminate the uniqueness of feminism in early-twentieth-century Spain: because ideas about marriage and the role of women in society were anchored in Catholic teachings, feminist arguments focused on rights to education, divorce, and employment instead of on suffrage.
