Endorsements
Within this collection of essays, we present fundamentally important, understudied topics in nineteenth-century Hispanic Studies. The shared concern is with how Spaniards conceived or undertook major activities that shaped their lives. In that spirit, each chapter title begins with the words "How to...". The essays are not confined to any single area of practice, nor do they share a home in social history, biography, or literary criticism, though all these things are here. Adaptability, paradox, and/or logical inconsistency, in varying combinations and emphases come to the fore in many of the essays. This is not so much because they reveal contradictions in a socio-economic system, as because they are expressions of a human quest for opportunity and survival in a complex and changing world. The nineteenth-century Hispanic world had been shattered to its core by wars, civil wars, and revolutions, at the same time as it confronted a new period of European and North-American expansion and development. We explore here some of the major, dynamic ways in which people sought to adapt and change, or even simply to continue as they were. The volume will be of significant interest to all those who study modern Spain, and to scholars and students of nineteenth-century cultural studies. The book contains essays by leading scholars from the United States, United Kingdom, and Spain.
