The traditional interpretation of the crisis of the Spanish Old
Regime is to see it as a revolution carried out by an ascendant
bourgeoisie. Professor Cruz challenges this viewpoint by arguing
that in Spain, as in the rest of continental Europe, a national
bourgeoisie did not exist before the second half of the nineteenth
century. Consequently, the model of bourgeois revolution proves
inadequate to explain any movement toward modernisation before
1850. Historiography based on the bourgeois revolution theory
portrays Spain as an exceptional model whose main feature is the
'failure' produced by the immobility of its ruling class. This work
re-examines that understanding, and relocates Spain in the
mainstream for industrialisation, urbanisation and democratisation
that characterise the history of modern Europe.
