About the Authors
  • David Ringrose here re-examines the history of Spain in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. He challenges the pessimism of prevailing assumptions about Spanish history, and its conventional separation into pre- and post-Napoleonic eras. Spain, Europe, and the 'Spanish Miracle', 1700–1900 also questions the importance of the empire for Spain's own economy, suggesting instead that Spain evolved as part of Europe; indeed, some of the recently documented modernisation of the nineteenth century was already well under way in the eighteenth. In addition, the emergence of a governing élite closely tied to provincial society is placed in the context of traditional networks of patronage based upon close-knit family ties. Such a perspective makes the transitions of the 1930s and 1970s easier to explain. This important and challenging book will change our understanding of the history of modern Spain.

    • A paperback edition of David Ringrose's major re-assessment of Spain's economic performance over two centuries, 1700–1900
    • Helps explain characteristics that have marked Spain's economy and society in more recent times, such as the 1930s and 1970s
    • Establishes Spain as part of the European picture during the period, rather than as a separate, poorly-performing entity
