Drawing on hitherto unpublished sources James Casey explores two
major themes in Spanish historiography - the consequences of the
expulsion of the Moriscos (heavily concentrated in Valencia in the
early seventeenth century), and the way in which the Habsburg
Monarchy kept or lost control over its peripheral provinces. The
study ranges widely over questions of population (including a
pioneering attempt for early modern Spain at family
reconstitution), landholding and agriculture, exploring the links
between depopulation and economic decline - twin phenomena which
characterized the peninsula in the age of Spain's decline. Dr Casey
has drawn on a variety of previously neglected sources - parish
registers, tithe records, cadastral surveys - in order to quantify
these developments as far as possible. The result is a reassessment
of the chronology and extent of economic recession in one of
Spain's most fertile provinces, and a revision of some ideas about
the importance of the expulsion of the Moriscos.
