Historical research on modern dictatorship has often neglected the
relevance of the nineteenth century, instead focusing on
twentieth-century dictatorial rules. Dictatorship in the Nineteenth
Century brings together scholars of political thought, the history
of ideas and gender studies in order to address this oversight.
Political dictatorship is often assumed to be a twentieth-century
phenomenon, but the notion gained currency during the French
Revolution. The Napoleonic experience underscored this trend, which
was later maintained during the wars of independence in Latin
America. Starting from the assumption that dictatorship has its own
history within the nineteenth century, separate from the ancient
Roman paradigm and twentieth-century totalitarianism, this volume
aims at establishing a dialogue between the concepts of
dictatorship and the experiences and transfer of knowledge between
Latin America and Europe during this period. This book is essential
reading for scholars and students of modern history, as well as
those interested in political history and the history of
dictatorship.
