Tight binding with clean text free of marks or underlining. Contains author's notes on sources, notes and index. 310 pp. Fast shipping in a secure book box mailer with tracking. Satisfaction guaranteed. A major reassessment of Philip V's leadership and what it meant for the modern Spanish state Often dismissed as ineffective, indolent, and dominated by his second wife, Philip V of Spain (1700-1746), the first Bourbon king, was in fact the greatest threat to peace in Europe during his reign. Under his rule, Spain was a dynamic force and expansionist power, especially in the Mediterranean world. Campaigns in Italy and North Africa revitalized Spanish control in the Mediterranean region, and the arrival of the Bourbon dynasty signaled a sharp break from Habsburg attitudes and practices. Challenging long-held understandings of early eighteenth-century Europe and the Atlantic world, Christopher Storrs draws on a rich array of primary documents to trace the political, military, and financial innovations that laid the framework for the modern Spanish state and the coalescence of a national identity. Storrs illuminates the remarkable revival of Spanish power after 1713 and sheds new light on the often underrated king who made Spain's resurgence possible. …

Paperback. Condition: New. This book deals with the crucial relationship between war and state formation in early modern Europe by considering the role of the Duchy of Savoy and the rise of this hitherto weak state into one of the regular members of the anti-French coalitions of the eighteenth century. Through his participation in the Nine Years War (1688-97) and the War of the Spanish Succession (1701-14), Victor Amadeus II, duke of Savoy, acquired a reputation for unrivalled 'Machiavellian' diplomacy on the international stage. The book puts this diplomacy in context, and considers how the duke raised men and money (at home and abroad), the administrative changes forced by war, the resulting domestic pressures, and how these were dealt with.…

Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. La historiografía no ha sido clemente con Felipe V, el primer Borbón en reinar en España, de 1700 a 1746. Motejado de incapaz, indolente y de estar dominado por su segunda esposa, Isabel de Farnesio, lo cierto es que bajo su cetro la Monarquía Hispánica volvió a ser una potencia dinámica y expansionista, en particular en el teatro mediterráneo, con campañas en Italia y en el norte de África. El resurgir español 1713-1748 incide en el profundo cambio que la instauración de los Borbones supuso respecto a las actitudes y prácticas de los Habsburgo, subrayando el papel que este monarca tuvo en el reverdecer del poderío español a partir de 1713, tanto en la reconstrucción del Ejército y de la Armada como, en el plano diplomático, en su capacidad de tejer una nueva red de alianzas. Además, cuestiona el paradigma tradicional acerca de la orientación atlántica de la Monarquía en la primera mitad del siglo XVIII, haciendo énfasis en el control hispánico sobre el Mediterráneo occidental, teatro de operaciones donde se desarrollaron las campañas españolas durante la Guerra de la Cuádruple Alianza (1717-1720) y las guerras de sucesión polaca (1733-1738) y austriaca (1740-1748), y las posturas tanto en España como en Italia ante el intento de Felipe V, insatisfecho con las cláusulas del Tratado de Utrecht, de reconstruir el Imperio español, y en este sentido nos hace repensar la narrativa habitual acerca de la historia de Europa. Christopher Storrs, hispanista y profesor de la Universidad de Dundee, bebe de un amplísimo caudal de fuentes primarias para documentar las innovaciones políticas, financieras y militares que pusieron los cimientos del moderno Estado español y se coadyuvaron así hacia el surgimiento de una identidad nacional, haciendo especial énfasis en la contribución personal del propio Felipe V en la consecución de este resurgir español. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
