On Spain in the eighteenth century, see John Lynch, Bourbon Spain 1700– 1808 (Oxford, 1989), Gonzalo Anes, El antiguo régimen: Los Borbones (Madrid, 1975), and Antonio Domínguez Ortiz, Sociedad y estado en el siglo XVlll español (Madrid, 1976). Henry Kamen, The War of Succession in Spain 1700–15 (London, 1969) is still valuable. The impact of the Enlightenment and Enlightened Despotism is discussed in Richard Herr, The Eighteenth-Century Revolution in Spain (Princeton, N.J., 1958), Jean Sarrailh, L’Espagne eclairé de la seconde moitié du XVIIIe siècle (Paris, 1954) and Antonio Mestre, llustración y reforma de la iglesia: Pensamiento políticoreligioso de don Gregorio Mayáns y Siscar (1699–1781) (Valencia, 1968). On Jansenism, see Joël Saugnieux, Le Jansénisme espagnol du XVIIIe siècle: Ses composantes et ses sources (Oviedo, 1975). The classic work of Marcelino Menéndez Pelayo, Historia de los heterodoxos españxoles, 3rd ed., 2 vols. (Madrid, 1976) is still worth consulting. On the economy there is Jordi Nadal and Gabriel Tortella (eds.), Agricultura, comercio colonial y crecimiento econímico en la España contemporánea (Barcelona, 1974), Gonzalo Anes, Las crisis agrarias en la España moderna (Madrid, 1970), and David R. Ringrose, Transportation and Economic Stagnation in Spain 1750–1850 (Durham, N.C., 1970) and Madrid and the Spanish Economy 1560–1850 (Berkeley and Los Angeles, 1983).
For the revolution in government, see the first part of D. A. Brading, Miners and Merchants in Bourbon Mexico 1763–1810 (Cambridge, Eng., 1971), John Lynch, Spanish Colonial Administration 1782–1810: The Intendant System in the Viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata (London, 1958), Luis Navarro García, Intendencias de Indias (Seville, 1959), J. R. Fisher, Government and Society in Colonial Peru: The Intendant System, 1764–1814 (London, 1970) and Jacques A. Barbier, Reform and Politics in Bourbon Chile, 1755–1796 (Ottawa, 1980).
