Jaime Vicens Vives – författare

This title offers a concise yet profound exploration of Spanish history, presented with Vicens' distinct methodology and dedication to historical accuracy. Written in a straightforward, unbiased manner, Vicens sought to penetrate beyond political rhetoric and traditional narratives, aiming to uncover the economic and social forces underpinning historical events. Emphasizing statistical analysis and tangible data, Vicens presents a well-rounded and realistic perspective, delving into lesser-explored details such as trade, population dynamics, and regional social structures.This second edition, updated to reflect recent historiographical advances, maintains the book’s focus on a pragmatic approach to history. It incorporates additional chapters and commentary to address new research and clarifications on controversial points. Vicens’ emphasis on economic and social analysis over ideological interpretations set the stage for modern, interdisciplinary approaches to Spanish history, making this work foundational for students and scholars alike.This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology.

This comprehensive account of the economic development of Spain, available for the first time in English, is generally regarded as a major achievement in Spanish historiography. It covers the entire history of Spain's economic and social evolution from prehistoric times to the end of the nineteenth century. The book originated from lectures given at the University of Barcelona by Jaime Vicens Vives, who has been called Spain's greatest historian in recent decades. Aware of all the major interpretations of Spanish history, the author draws upon the recent research of Spanish, French, and American historians; yet to the overall picture he gives his own imprint.
