This collection of thirteen specially commissioned essays by
international scholars takes a fresh look at the profound impact of
the Peninsular War on Romantic British literature and culture. The
expertly authored chapters explore the valorization of Spain by
nineteenth-century poets such as Lord Byron, William Wordsworth,
Robert Southey, S.T. Coleridge, the Shelleys, and Felicia Hemans in
contrast to the Enlightenment-era view of Spain as a backwards
nation in decline. Topics discussed include the vision of Spain in
Gothic fiction, Spanish experiences of exile as exemplified by the
conflict between Valentin de Llanos and Joseph Blanco White, and
British women writers' approach to peninsular fiction. Spain in
British Romanticism: 1800-1840 is essential reading for scholars
and enthusiasts of Romantic literature and Spanish history.
