The summer of 1830 stirred revolutionary desires in young hearts
across Europe. More than a generation of war and political
instability had failed to dampen the fervor still felt from the
French Revolution. In England the Cambridge Apostles took up the
cause of the Spanish emigres so movingly visible in London where
they had sought refuge from the tyranny of Ferdinand VII and his
suppression of constitutional rights. The Spanish Expedition of the
Cambridge Apostles has always captured our imaginations. Its blend
of idealism and daring, of theory and practice, of thought and
energy, seems perfectly to fulfill the principles the Apostles
steadfastly espoused, a combination of faith and works. The
episodes comprised in most accounts of the expedition are symbolic
and filled with intrigue: secret meetings, assumed names, hidden
messages, contraband, narrow escapes from the authorities,
treachery, and finally a bloody execution on the beach at Malaga. A
host of newly-discovered documents now enable us to re-examine one
of the most intriguing events in British intellectual history.
