Spain 1812-1996 (Modern History for Modern Languages)

by Christopher Ross (Author), Christopher Ross (Author)

Synopsis

"History and Contemporary Society" is a core first- or second-year module in the majority of undergraduate degrees in modern languages. Written specifically for students taking language degrees, this text assumes no prior knowledge, and addresses the needs of Spanish language students. Broadly chronological in approach, it focuses on the main events in political history, bringing in major socio-economic themes where relevant. At the same time, modern Spain is set into a wider context, with each chapter prefaced by a brief outline of the main historical developments in Europe during the 19th and 20th centuries. It features original documents, a glossary, and exercises.
