Spanish History since 1808

This lively new textbook is a comprehensive treatment of Spanish history, capturing nearly two centuries of Spain in one volume. It provides a major reevaluation of modern Spain and draws from the work of leading historians in North America, Britain, and Spain. It also includes extensive material from archives that have only become available since the end of the Franco regime in the 1970s. The book is organized into chronological sections around the main periods of historical change in Spain and each section provides an in-depth exploration of the principle themes and developments for its period. Combining new approaches and research, it will be an invaluable for anyone studying modern Europe.
