Bringing together the work of top specialists and emerging scholars
in the field, this volume is the first book-length study of the
rapport between liberalism and the Spanish monarchy over the long
nineteenth century in any language. It is at once a general
overview and a set of original contributions to knowledge. The
essays discuss monarchy's rapport with the pre-liberal, liberal and
post-liberal nation-state, from the eve of the French Revolution,
when the monarchy regulated a 'natural' order, to the unstable
reign of Isabel II, fraught by revolutions that ended in her exile,
to the brief republican monarchy of Amadeo I, the much-maligned
foreign king, to Alfonso XIII's expulsion from Spain following the
failure of the dictatorship of Primo de Rivera. The essays approach
the subject through two main thematic-analytical axes. The first,
political axis examines the monarchy's confrontation with, and
adaptation to, liberalism as a political force that aimed to
nationalize the Spanish people. The second axis is cultural, and
studies the Crown's support of liberalism's nationalizing aims
through various staging strategies that comprised visits, rituals,
ceremonies, iconography, religiosity, and familial and military
display. The dual approach invites the reader to question the
boundaries between the political and the cultural, especially in
regard to the ceremonial, and during critical times that witness
the transformation of political power and the building of the
nation-state. Designed for Hispanists and students of politics,
ritual, liberalism and monarchy, this collection should appeal to
academics and researchers as well as anyone interested in modern
European history.
