Michael Iarocci traces the ways in which Spain went from being central to European history and identity during the early modern period to being marginalized and displaced by England France and Germany during the Romantic period He points out that it has long been an unspoken assumption tainting much of literary criticism that Spain did not have a strong Romantic movement even though Spain itself had come to be viewed by the new Europe as the location of all that was romanticThrough a close study of Cadalso Saavedra and Larra Iarocci argues that Spanish writers were intensely concerned with the same issues taken up by more famous Romantics and that the ways in which they address these issues provides us with a richer notion not only of Spain but of all of Europe

Frontiers of Possession asks how territorial borders were established in Europe and the Americas during the early modern period and challenges the standard view that national boundaries are largely determined by military conflicts and treaties Focusing on Spanish and Portuguese claims in the New and Old Worlds Tamar Herzog reconstructs the different ways land rights were negotiated and enforced sometimes violently among people who remembered old possessions or envisioned new ones farmers and nobles clergymen and missionaries settlers and indigenous peoplesQuestioning the habitual narrative that sees the Americas as a logical extension of the Old World Herzog portrays Spain and Portugal on both sides of the Atlantic as one unified imperial space She begins in the Americas where Iberian conquerors had to decide who could settle the land who could harvest fruit and cut timber and who had river rights for travel and trade The presence of indigenous peoples as enemies to vanquish or allies to befriend along with the vastness of the land complicated the picture as did the promise of unlimited wealth In Europe meanwhile the formation and reformation of boundaries could last centuries as ancient entitlements clashed with evolving economic conditions and changing political views and juridical doctrines regarding how land could be acquired and maintainedHerzog demonstrates that the same fundamental questions had to be addressed in Europe and in the Americas Territorial control was always subject to negotiation as neighbors and outsiders in their quotidian interactions carved out and defended new frontiers of possession
