| Summary |
This book offers the first review in the form of a monographic volume of cultural transfers from Great Britain to Spain in the 18th century, focusing in particular on the most innovative genre of the 1700s, the periodical press. To do this, it explores the hitherto diffuse phenomenon of Anglomania---fashion of English ideas, influences and styles that dominated Europe in the seventeenth century---and its opposite phenomenon, Anglophobia, carrying out a reading and analysis of the transmission, reception and adaptation of British ideas and reforms in three well-differentiated types of press, in conjunction with the national situation itself and the Bourbon reform program. In addition, this work emphasizes the work of these journalists and newspapers, as well as their connections with power, an aspect little studied by critics until now, while placing them as fundamental agents of that European network of material and intellectual exchanges that supported the Republic of Letters. With all this, this volume contributes to the series of debates dedicated to the reevaluation of the Spanish Enlightenment that seek to place it on the map of European Enlightenment then and now. LETICIA VILLAMEDIANA GONZÁLEZ is a Senior Teaching Fellow in Hispanic Studies at the University of Warwick. This book constitutes the first monographic study of the cultural transfers from Great Britain to Spain through 18th-Century periodical press, one of the most innovative genres of the period. It explores the notion of Anglomania - the craze for all things English which spread throughout all Europe - and its reactive phenomenon, Anglophobia, offering a contextualised analysis of the transmission, reception and adaptation of British Enlightened ideas and reforms in three different types of Spanish periodicals. . In so doing, this volume brings to the fore the work of some understudied writers and journalists and situates these important periodicals and their connections to power as a key part of a wider European context of material and intellectual exchanges that sustained the Republic of Letters. This in turn, contributes to recent scholarship arguing for a central place of Spain in the intellectual map of the Enlightenment.
