Libérer le Nouveau Monde: La fondation des premières républiques hispaniques, Colombie et Venezuela (1780-1820)
This major work, intricate and fascinating, complements the author's earlier and equally distinguished work Repúblicas en armas: Los ejércitos bolivarianos en la Guerra de Independencia en Colombia y Venezuela (2003). Both works open new pathways into the history of the northern sector of Spanish South America, known as Tierra Firme. The present work is principally concerned with the process of legitimizing the revolutionary movements in New Gran…
Imperial Collapse or Revolution
A book forum featuring The End of Iberian Rule on the American Continent, 1770–1830 by Brian R. Hamnett. His 2017 volume argues that the origins of Ibero-American Independence must be found in the interplay between the Spanish and Lusitanian monarchies and the American empires ruled by them. It was internal conflict within these empires that led to independence, not revolution, separatist sentiment, or the emergence of American nation-states. Mon…
The Reception of Romanticism in Italy and Spain: Parallels and Contrasts
Liberalism arose alongside Romanticism but the two were qualitatively different. Romantic Liberalism in Italy and Spain, with roots in the Enlightenment, looked for the reasons why supposed past liberties had been lost and for methods to regain them. The constitutional issue, however, exposed the differences between the two countries, due principally to continued foreign rule in Italy, lack of political unity and the absence of an accepted common…
Spain and Portugal and the Loss of their Continental American Territories in the 1820s: An Examination of the Issues
The least studied aspect of Ibero-American Independence is the impact on Spain and Portugal. Many complex issues were involved, including the nature of the economic impact, the degree of political readjustment, and the international position of the former metropoles. The 1820s exposed the contradictions in Iberian responses to the loss of continental American territories. Spanish merchants turned towards the domestic and Caribbean markets, and Po…

Fictitious Histories: The Dilemma of Fact and Imagination in the Nineteenth-Century Historical Novel
The article takes up the issue of how fiction and history relate to one another. In many respects, the nineteenth century revealed its uncertainties concerning its place in history through the historical novel. This genre, which emerged in modern form at the beginning of the nineteenth century with Walter Scott, was the meeting point of these two distinct disciplines. Although initially a product of the Enlightenment, the historical novel influen…
A Concise History of Mexico
Mexican Conservatives, Clericals, and Soldiers: The 'Traitor' Tomás Mejía through Reform and Empire, 1855-1867
General Tomás Mejía (1820-67) became a leading Mexican opponent of the Liberal Reform Movement in the mid-nineteenth century. Originating from the Querétaro Sierra Gorda, where for twenty years he had a strong power base, he took his stand in defence of the Catholic religion. A devotee of the local cult of the Virgin of the Pueblito, Mejía cooperated first with the Conservative Party and subsequently with the Second Mexican Empire (1862-67). Bewe…
