ABSTRACT
This book offers an introduction to the Hispanic-Anglosphere in terms of the concept and of the opportunities that offers for the study of the late eighteenth to the early twentieth centuries. The ten case studies, 25 biographies and seven articles on material culture were meant to be suggestive of the kind of material that can be produced applying this framework rather than to provide a definitive history of the individuals, transnational networks and global communities that contributed to turn the British Isles into a key hub for the global Hispanic world, a launching-pad to and a bridge between Spanish Europe, Africa, Asia and the Americas. There is also a good deal to gain from continuing our collaboration with NT Tyntesfield as well as mapping and studying many other key locations, sites of heritage and memory both in the Hispanic world and in the British Isles.
