Published in memory of Ivy L. McClelland, a pioneer-scholar of
Spain's eighteenth century, this volume of original essays
contains, besides an Introduction to her career and internationally
influential writings, three previously unpublished essays by
McClelland and nine studies by other scholars, all of which are
focused on elucidating the Enlightenment and its characteristic
manifestations in the Hispanic world. Among the Enlightenment
writers and artists, works and genres, themes and issues discussed,
are: Nicolas Moratin and epic poetry, Lillo's The London Merchant
and English and French influences on eighteenth-century Spanish
drama, Jose Marchena and literary historiography, oppositions and
misunderstandings within Spanish society as reflected in El si de
las ninas, Goya and the visual arts, Quintana's Pelayo and
historical tragedy, Enlightenment discourse, the Periodical Press,
theatre as propaganda, the ideology and politics of Empire, the
roots of revolt in late viceregal Quito, women's experience of
Enlightenment in Spain, social and cultural difference in colonial
Peru, ideological debate and uncertainty during the Age of Reason,
eighteenth-century Spain on the nineteenth-century stage, and
public opinion in Spain on the eve of the French, and European,
Revolution. First published as a Special Issue of the Bulletin of
Spanish Studies (LXXXVI [November-December 2009], Nos 7-8), this
book will be of value and stimulus to all scholars concerned to
investigate and interpret the culture, theatre, ideology, society
and politics of the Enlightenment in Spain, Europe and Spanish
America.
