Art and Identity in Spain, 1833–1956
Winner of the Mark A. Roglán Publication Award 2025 for exemplary scholarship on Spanish art between 1820 and 1920 from the Meadows Museum's Custard Institute for Spanish Art and Culture, Dallas. Richly illustrated, this is the first study in English to explore the longevity of Orientalist art in Spain over a period of 120 years. It highlights how artists in Spain shaped perceptions of Al-Andalus (Iberia under Islam 711–1492) and northern Morocco, from Spain's liberal revolution of the 1830s to the end of the Protectorate of Morocco in 1956. Combining art history with a cultural studies approach, and using exemplary case studies, Hopkins foregrounds the diverse issues that underpin Orient...

Rome and the north-western Mediterranean
To date, Rome’s intervention to the West from the mid-second century BC has not really been looked at with any sense of overview. Instead, there has been an unconnected series of micro-regional studies looking at particular areas, from the river Ebro in Spain round to Italy on the land front, and from the Balearic Islands to Corsica, Sardinia and even Sicily as regards the seaborne aspect. In contrast, the aim of this volume is to push the historical and archaeological debates about Rome’s expansion beyond these traditional geographical boundaries and the discipline-based previous research. The entire north-western Mediterranean is treated as a micro-region and is addressed using various...
Defining and Perceiving Feelings in the Late Middle Ages
In order to have a constructive discussion about feelings in the late Middle Ages, it is beneficial to first evaluate how the feelings of individual men and women were defined. As such, the purpose of this book is to explore the words used by late medieval men and women to refer to their feelings and to examine their meanings. By doing so, we can better understand the efforts of late medieval society to express, use, and transmit certain feelings, especially as they related to manoeuvres of power or the articulation of social values. Contributors are: Mechthild Albert, Jacqueline Cerquiglioni-Toulet, Frank Collard, Paola Corti Badia, Francesca Español, Isabel Grifoll, Juan Francisco Jiménez Alcázar, José Martínez Gázquez, Alicia Minguélez, Matilde Juan, Liza N. Pina-Rubio, Gerardo Rodríguez, Flocel Sabaté, Benedicte Sère, and Marta Serrano.
