Spain

From Roman times to the present day, Spain has occupied a significant role in the evolution of our Western world. This work highlights the notable trends, intellectual and social, of each particular era in its history. Included are chapters on the Visigoth monarchy and Moorish Spain.

The book, which is nicely illustrated, contains nine essays ... which cover the history of Spain, still unfamliar to most English-speakers, from prehistoric times to the present. The essays are well written by experts in that particular period and show how many of the trends we usually regard as 'post-Franco' have been about for some time in the ebb and flow of Spanish history.
