British Periodicals and Spanish Literature : Mapping the Romantic Canon (Anglo-Iberian Studies 3) (2022. 246 S. 11 Abb. 210 mm)

With the main goal of contributing to a wider understanding of the presence
of Spanish literature and culture in British Romanticism, this book focuses
on the instrumental role played by the British periodical press in the
Anglo-Spanish literary and cultural exchange in the first half of the nineteenth
century. All the chapters bear witness to the contrasting and varied
perception of everything Spanish, the different strategies of exploration, appropriation
and rewriting of its cultural and literary tradition. Besides, they
all reveal the intricate web of cultural, political and religious factors tinging
the discourse of British Romantic literary critics and authors on the Spanish
cultural capital.
