The Routledge Hispanic Studies Companion to Nineteenth-Century Spain

The Routledge Hispanic Studies Companion to Nineteenth-Century Spain brings together an international team of expert contributors in this critical and innovative volume that redefines nineteenth-century Spain in a multi-national, multi-lingual, and transnational way.
This interdisciplinary volume examines questions moving beyond the traditional concept of Spain as a singular, homogenous entity to a new understanding of Spain as an unstable set of multipolar and multilinguistic relations that can be inscribed in different translational ways.
This invaluable resource will be of interest to advanced students and scholars in Hispanic Studies.

Elisa Martí-López is Associate Professor Emerita of Spanish at Northwestern University, USA.
