However, the image of Spain, its culture and its inhabitants did not evolve inexorably from negative to positive. From the early modern period onwards, it responded to an ambiguous matrix of conflicting Hispanophobic and Hispanophilic representations. Just as in the nineteenth century latent negative stereotypes continued to resurface, even in the Romantic heyday, in the early modern period appreciation for Spain was equally undeniable. When Spain was a political and military superpower, it also enjoyed cultural hegemony with a literary Golden Age producing internationally hailed masterpieces. This book explores the protracted interest in Spain and its culture, and it exposes the co-existent ambiguity between scorn and fascination that characterizes Western historical perceptions, in particular in Britain and the Low Countries, two geographical spaces with a shared sense of historical connectedness and an overlapping - and sometimes complicated - history with Spain. 588 0 Print version record. 650 0 British literature|xHistory and criticism. 650 0 Dutch literature|xHistory and criticism. 651 0 Spain|xIn literature. 700 1 Rodríguez Pérez, Yolanda,|d1967-|eeditor. 776 08 |iPrint version:|tLiterary Hispanophobia and Hispanophilia in Britain and the Low Countries (1550-1850).|dAmsterdam : Amsterdam University Press 2020|z9789462989375 |w(OCoLC)1129256766 830 0 Heritage and memory studies. 914 on1138874501 994 92|bCKE
