Tipo de material: TextoSeries Lewis Walpole series in eighteenth-century culture and historyDetalles de publicación: New Haven [etc.] : Yale University Press, 2016 Descripción: 310 p. ; 25 cmISBN: 9780300216899Tema(s): Monarquía -- España -- 1713-1748 | España -- Historia -- 1700-1746, Felipe VResumen: Often dismissed as ineffective, indolent, and dominated by his second wife, Philip V of Spain (1700-1746), the first Bourbon king, was in fact the greatest threat to peace in Europe during his reign. Under his rule, Spain was a dynamic force and expansionist power, especially in the Mediterranean world. Campaigns in Italy and North Africa revitalized Spanish control in the Mediterranean region, and the arrival of the Bourbon dynasty signaled a sharp break from Habsburg attitudes and practices. Challenging long-held understandings of early eighteenth-century Europe and the Atlantic world, Christopher Storrs draws on a rich array of primary documents to trace the political, military, and financial innovations that laid the framework for the modern Spanish state and the coalescence of a national identity. Storrs illuminates the remarkable revival of Spanish power after 1713 and sheds new light on the often underrated king who made Spain's resurgence possible.Tipo de ítem | Biblioteca de origen | Signatura | Estado | Fecha de vencimiento | Código de barras | Reserva de ítems |
