Drawing upon archival material as well as the drama, popular verse and pamphlets, this book reads representations of masters and servants in relation to key Renaissance preoccupations. Apprentices, journeymen, male domestic servants, maidservants and stewards, Burnett argues, were deployed in literary texts to address questions about the exercise of power, social change and the threat of economic upheaval. In this way, writers were instrumental in creating servant ''cultures'', and spaces within which forms of political resistance could be realized.

This is not the Spain which has drawn historians, neither is it the Spain of many people’s dreams: the olive and citrus groves of the Mediterranean, the beaches and white-washed villages.This is the story of a family from one of many villages in the poor mountain regions as they lived through the troubled times of the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries which brought unrest, war and finally a long dictatorship lasting until Franco’s death in 1975.On Franco’s death the Spanish people faced an enormous challenge; the way forward would not be easy.How could they cast off their troubled past? What was it like for a foreigner arriving in the country over forty years ago as Spain struggled to find its way as a modern European state?An attempted coup d’état, terrorism, the declining power of the church and vertiginous social changes affected everyone’s lives.Spain today is a very different country, yet something of the turbulent past remains.Echoes from a Vanished World is a thought-provoking and unique social history book on Spain during a particularly convulsive era.

Llegué a España con un par de maletas, un vestido azul de verano y una vaga idea del país, pero lo primero que encontré fue polvo, bloques de hormigón y un pasado que nadie contaba en voz alta.Recuerdos de otra España es la historia de una familia humilde que vivió siempre al límite: al límite del invierno en un pueblo escondido en la Sierra de Gredos, al límite del hambre, al límite de las guerras que otros decidían lejos de allí.Habla, entre otros, de Isidro, enviado a Cuba sin saber por qué. De Gregorio, obligado a luchar en África. De Cecilia, una niña que dejó de serlo a los once años cuando su madre murió tras dar a luz y ella tuvo que hacerse cargo de la casa, del fuego, de la comida, de sus hermanos… y de su propio silencio.Es también mi historia, la de una joven extranjera que aterriza en el Madrid de los años setenta creyendo haber llegado a un país moderno y descubre que el pasado sigue latente dentro de cada familia, en cada gesto y en cada miedo heredado.Es un viaje íntimo hacia esa otra España —la que resistió, la que calló, la que sobrevivió— y hacia la comprensión de que, para amar un país, primero hay que atreverse a mirarlo sin adornos.
