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 elite
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.
