- Summary:
- This is a meticulous study of a neglected subject, with much that will reward scholars in the fields of Spanish and European studies--be they specialists in history, literary studies, art history, sociology, and political science. Cruz (Iberian history, U. of Delaware) examines Spanish bourgeois culture as it developed in the 19th century, its similarities and differences compared to middle-class societies elsewhere, and its underlying influence on the shape of present-day life.
