{"product_id":"9781837722075","title":"Spain's Eighteenth-Century Periodical Press : Antonio Valladares de Sotomayor and the Semanario Erudito (Iberian and Latin American Studies)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is the first monographic study of the Semanario Erudito, one of the most important learned periodicals of late eighteenth-century Spain. Its editor, Antonio Valladares de Sotomayor (1737-1820), sought to recover the history of Spain and, through his periodical, instruct his readers. The book begins by discussing Valladares's life and works; he was a prolific and popular dramatist, as well as a professional editor of books and other periodicals. Documents from Spain's Archivo Histórico Nacional inform the next two chapters, which examine the periodical's history; these chapters treat the censorship process, as well as the printers, sellers and\n\u003cbr\u003ereaders of the Semanario. The book's second half looks at what Valladares published - reformist tracts by arbitristas and proyectistas, reflections on the monarchy and the role of privados, writings by eighteenth-century figures such as Macanaz, Burriel, Mayans and Sarmiento - and suggests why he might have selected particular texts for his readers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Wales Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49878764945656,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":184.08,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/8208\/6904\/files\/9781837722075-1.jpg?v=1783747098","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.au\/ja\/products\/9781837722075","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
