The Struggle for Madrid
Author: Robert G. ColodnyPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351473042
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 426
Book Description
The Struggle for Madrid is a study of the battles that were waged between the armies of the Spanish Republic and the armies of General Francisco Franco for the city of Madrid. It was this struggle, beginning with the collapse of Republican arms at Toledo in September, 1936, and ending with the victory of the Madrid armies at Guadalajara in March, 1937, that determined the duration and characteristics of the rest of the conflict. It was the central episode of the Spanish War. Due to international intervention, the Spanish struggle lost its purely national character and became at once a civil war of a profoundly Spanish type, a war of independence waged by a section of the Spanish people against German, Italian, and Moroccan armies, and a clash of supra national ideologies that aroused the deepest passions of peoples far removed from the immediate Spanish interests at stake. Although the passions aroused by the war distort contemporary accounts of the fighting, the totalities of these obstacles present no insurmountable barrier to a preliminary investigation of the Madrid battles. Such a study is best undertaken while many of the principal actors in the Madrid tragedy still live. If truth has been affronted the witnesses may yet speak, and from the debate margin of error will be reduced. Robert Colodny's groundbreaking cross of military history and political ambitions helps reduce the gap between fiction and fact.
A New History of Spanish Literature
Author: Richard E. ChandlerPublisher: LSU Press
ISBN: 9780807117354
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 460
Book Description
First published in 1961, A New History of Spanish Literature has been a much-used resource for generations of students. The book has now been completely revised and updated to include extensive discussion of Spanish literature of the past thirty years. Richard E. Chandler and Kessel Schwartz, both longtime students of the literature, write authoritatively about every Spanish literary work of consequence. From the earliest extant writings though the literature of the 1980s, they draw on the latest scholarship. Unlike most literary histories, this one treats each genre fully in its own section, thus making it easy for the reader to follow the development of poetry, the drama, the novel, other prose fiction, and nonfiction prose. Students of the first edition have found this method particularly useful. However, this approach does not preclude study of the literature by period. A full index easily enables the reader to find all references to any individual author or book. Another noteworthy feature of the book, and one omitted from many books of this kind, is the comprehensive attention the authors accord nonfiction prose, including, for example, essays, philosophy, literary criticism, politics, and historiography. Encyclopedic in scope yet concise and eminently readable, the revised edition of A New History of Spanish Literature bids fair to be the standard reference well into the next century.

The War of the Castilian Succession, the peace treaties with Portugal and the incorporation of the Kingdom of Granada are examined in depth.

It describes the process of the restoration of the Ancien Régime and the very important consequences this had in terms of the preservation of public order. Then, from a liberal perspective, the integration of revolutionary myths into the institutions of the time is exemplified. This part culminates with a detailed study of the liberal revolts and late absolutism, providing a unique insight into this tumultuous period of Spanish history.It closes with an analysis of the crisis of the turnist system of the Restoration, the effects of the First World War in Spain and the phenomenon of military juntism, which provides a valuable insight into the challenges and changes that Spain faced during this period.Manuela Fernández Rodríguez is a tenured lecturer at the Universidad Rey Juan Carlos in the area of History of Law and Institutions.Among the lines of research she has worked on throughout her academic career are those related to security, public order and the enjoyment of rights and freedoms in contemporary times. Most of her publications focus on the Spanish field, although she is also well versed in the institutional framework of the European Union and gamification, as co-director of the Master’s Degree on Gamification, Game-based Learning and Serious Games at the Universidad Rey Juan Carlos.

Iberianism and Crisis
Author: Robert Patrick NewcombPublisher: University of Toronto Press
ISBN: 1487516347
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 259
Book Description
"Iberianism" refers to a minority intellectual current which emerged in Spain and Portugal during the mid-nineteenth century and developed in step with the Iberian Peninsula’s successive crises. Iberianism sought to upend the peninsula’s political and intellectual status quo by advocating closer ties between the two peninsular kingdoms, and more equitable relations between the Spanish state’s constituent regions, including Castile, Catalonia, Basque Country, and Galicia. Robert Patrick Newcomb’s Iberianism and Crisis examines how prominent peninsular essay writers and public intellectuals, active around the turn of the twentieth century, looked to Iberianism to address a succession of political, economic, and social crises that shook the Spanish and Portuguese states to their foundations. Bringing into dialogue prominent fin-de-siècle peninsular literary intellectuals, including Joan Maragall, Oliveira Martins, Emilia Pardo Bazán, Antero de Quental, and Miguel de Unamuno, Newcomb engages in a comparative analysis of textual sources across national and regional borders, languages, and literary canons.
