Great news! A good part of our first book The Hispanic-Anglosphere from the Eighteenth to the Twentieth Century – An Introduction (New York and London: Routledge, 2021) is now available in open access thanks to generous funding provided by the University of Winchester.

This covers 4 chapters and the section including 25 biographies of key individuals selected under the sole criteria that they should be non-canonical figures and that their experiences could provide evidence relating to a wide spectrum of topics and thematic areas such as trade, the military, journalism, education, science; emancipation movements; anti-slavery; activism; biodiversity; the arts; translation among many other, plus over half-a-dozen examples of material culture (prints, manuscripts, objects, images, locations) as indicated below.

Please feel free to include these outputs in your teaching, research, outreach activities and to distribute them widely (just click on the titles to access the pdf files).
