The Hispanic-Anglosphere from the Eighteenth to the Twentieth Century

Graciela Iglesias-Rogers is Senior Lecturer in Modern European and Global Hispanic History at the University of Winchester (UK) and Principal Investigator in the AHRC-funded international research project 'The Hispanic Anglosphere: transnational networks and global communities (18th - 20th centuries)' in partnership with The National Trust - Tyntesfield.

This book introduces the conceptual framework of the 'Hispanic-Anglosphere' to open a window into the interactions between the British Isles and the global Hispanic world. It offers insights on trade, pandemics, the arts, education, language, politics, the press, religion, biodiversity, philanthropy, anti-slavery and imperialism.
