The cathedral of modern civilisation. The Teatro Real of Madrid and the definition of the respectable new elite, 1850-1895
Opera was a spectacle reserved for the aristocratic elite during the Ancien Régime. However, the liberal revolution and the redefinition of the mechanisms of social class identity that brought with it significantly modified this space. As Théophile Gautier said, opera houses became in the nineteen century “a radiating centre, a sort of worldly cathedral of civilisation” from which to spread progress. At the same time, they constituted a privilege…
The ambivalent faces of domestic queens: Gender, power, and political crisis in the nineteenth century Iberian Peninsula
In the mid-nineteenth century, three reigning queens ruled their countries: Victoria in England, Maria II in Portugal, and Isabel II in Spain. These were three women who had to assume political power in a moment both of the redefinition of womanhood towards domesticity and the establishment of liberal, constitutional regimes. Their queenship, therefore, was built on a close relationship with their moral and domestic attributes as women, feeding o…
La invención del consorte real. La figura de Francisco de Asís de Borbón en el contexto de la Europa liberal
La configuración de la monarquía constitucional tuvo lugar en España bajo el reinado de Isabel II. Conjugar las variables de poder y de género fue especialmente complejo en una reina soberana. Pero también lo sería en su consorte. Mientras la ideología de la domesticidad se imponía progresivamente, el liberalismo tuvo que pensar a un hombre emasculado, privado de las cualidades públicas y políticas que atribuía a la masculinidad. Este articulo an…
The ‘Dying’ Bourbon Dynasty: The Diplomatic Role of the Spanish Monarchy in the Long Nineteenth Century
This article explores one of the main arenas in which change came over the role of the monarchy as part of Europe's transition to a modern political system: diplomacy. Traditionally, there had been a dual aspect to monarchy that merged dynastic and state interests. The creation of modern constitutional political systems in the nineteenth century forced European crowns to modify their prerogatives and effective power, sharing this with elected pol…
The Crown in National Disguises: The Uses of Monarchy’s Historical Past in Spanish Nation-Building, 1833–1868
The competing ideologies of nation and monarchy had a troubled beginning in the 19th century, insomuch as they derived partly from two opposing sources of legitimacy. However, from the 1830s on, their supporters achieved the establishment of an interspecific and mutually advantageous relationship. The nation gradually managed to prevail over the monarchy, justifying its presence in national terms. However, the monarchy possessed something longed …
Honourable Businessmen: Respectability and ‘Gentlemanly Capitalism’ in Spain, 1840–1880
Revolution can lead to the complete political and social reconfiguration of a society. Such readjustment is often especially significant amongst the society's elites, as when ancient aristocrats had to converge with a newly emerging bourgeoisie. This article argues that over the course of the nineteenth century there was a steady process of negotiation that saw the evolution of a new form of elite, one defined by a new characteristic: respectabil…
The influential women of Liberal monarchy. Gender and politics in the Spanish and British royal courts, c. 1830-1860
This article shows how women, thanks to their courtly positions, could continue exerting some political power in the time of their exclusion of formal politics resulting from the Liberal, constitutional system. Their close and intimate contact with a queen regnant as Isabel II provided them a decisive role in this tug-of-war between political pressure groups and alliances. Likewise, we employ a comparative perspective with a contemporary ruling w…
La niebla constitucional de la corona. Las ceremonias políticas de la monarquía en la construcción del Estado-nación español (1808-1868)
El liberalismo español concedió mucha importancia a la ritualidad política. Era necesario representar públicamente sus principios, sus valores constitutivos y su orden sociopolítico, condensándolo en un sistema simbólico complejo. En una época dominada por las formas de gobierno monárquicas, este proyecto ritual liberal se elaboró en diálogo con las ceremonias monárquicas, integradas en una longeva tradición cultural. Esto hizo que se produjera u…
Being a nation through the crown. Banal monarchism and nation-building in Spain, 1833–68
Studies on nationalism have rarely given importance to the role played by the monarchy. In the Spanish case, studies have principally underlined its negative impact at the beginning of the twentieth century. This article aims to approach the origins of this political and cultural junction between the crown and the phenomenon of nationalism in Spain. A process that took place during the reign of Queen Isabel II (1833–68) and that followed very sim…
Mujeres en Palacio, Señoras en Política. El poder informal femenino en la corte de Isabel II, 1833-1868
La Corte continuó siendo un espacio de poder que, en el siglo XIX, tuvo que convivir con las nuevas instituciones representativas creadas por el sistema político liberal. En ese universo cortesano, el eje central estaba formado por el acceso al rey en sus dimensiones espaciales y temporales. Es decir, una mayor proximidad al monarca se traducía en una mayor capacidad de influencia en sus decisiones. Al ser una mujer quien entre 1833 y 1868 detent…
El nuevo Fénix de los Ingenios”: Los funerales de Manuel Bretón de los Herreros y la construcción de su celebridad (1873)
En el siglo XIX, los escritores fueron reinterpretados dentro de unas coordenadas eminentemente políticas. Una ocasión idónea para esta reapropiación venía con los homenajes fúnebres. Este artículo analiza este proceso mediante la ceremonia fúnebre de Manuel Bretón de los Herreros, un escritor relevante del XIX español
Viejos ropajes para una nueva monarquía.Género y nación en la refundación simbólica de la Corona de Isabel II (1858-1866)
La monarquía sobrevivió al siglo de las revoluciones por su gran capacidad de adaptación a los cambios políticos, sociales y culturales. Especialmente importante fue su vertiente de representación política en términos nacionales, algo respaldado desde la teoría por su habilidad de unificar social, territorial y culturalmente a la nación. Este artículo analiza cómo utilizó la monarquía la moda para representar en un sentido integrador un Estado mu…
