The Splintering of Spain

This book explores the ideas and culture surrounding the cataclysmic

civil war that engulfed Spain from 1936 to 1939. It features specially

commissioned articles from leading historians in Spain, Britain and the

USA which examine the complex interaction of national and local

factors, contributing to the shape and course of the war. They argue

that the ‘splintering of Spain’ resulted from the myriad cultural clea-

vages of society in the 1930s. Thus, this book views the civil war less as

a single great conflict between two easily identifiable sets of ideas, social

classes or ways of life, than historians have previously done. The

Spanish tragedy, at the level of everyday life, was shaped by many

tensions, both those that were formally political and those that were

to do with people’s perceptions and understanding of the society

around them.
