Opis

The volume aims to offer a broader outlook on the last five hundred years of Anglo-Iberian relations, often reduced to clichéd binaries and largely limited to normative voices. The chapters deal with relatively little-known Anglo-Iberian events and figures. They seek to look beyond persistent ideological biases to foster mutual understanding.
