This book explores the connections that Jose Joaquin de Mora
(1783-1864) established with Britain, where he was exiled from 1823
to 1826 and was to return as diplomat in the following decades. His
admiration for the British materialised in a series of cultural
transfers aimed at the promotion and diffusion of British culture
in Spain and Spanish America. He contributed to the popularization
of Bentham's utilitarianism, the principles of British classical
economy, and the philosophy of the Scottish School of Common Sense;
he translated texts by Scott and Shakespeare and wrote an
unfinished version of Byron's Don Juan; and, above all, he
presented Britain as a model for the political, economic, and
literary regeneration of the Hispanic world.
