Anglo-American Hispanists and the Spanish Civil War

Anglo-American Hispanists and the Spanish Civil War: Hispanophilia, Commitment, and Discipline. New York: Palgrave Macmillan, 2008. (Click here for more information; click here to order a copy at bn.com; click here for a discount form.)

What do you do when a beloved foreign country plunges into civil war? And how do you square your political views on that war with the demands of scholarly objectivity? This book assesses the long-term impact of the Spanish Civil War on Hispanic Studies as an academic field in the United States and Great Britain. Combining institutional history with biography, the book gives a compelling account of the dilemmas that the war posed for four Hispanists who turned their love of Spain into their life’s work: Gerald Brenan, Allison Peers, Paul Rogers, and Herbert Southworth.
