• Imperial Emotions: Cultural Responses to Myths of Empire in Fin-de-Siècle Spain. Liverpool: Liverpool UP, 2013 (Open Access edition available).��The book��reconsiders debates about historical memory from the��perspective of the theory of emotions. Its main claim is that the demise of the��Spanish empire in 1898 spurred a number of��contradictory emotional responses,��ranging from mourning and melancholia to indignation, pride, and shame. It��shows how intellectuals sought to reimagine a post-Empire Spain by��drawing on��myth and employing a predominantly emotional register, a contention that��departs from current scholarly depictions of the fin-de-siècle crisis in Spain��that largely leave the��role of both emotions and imperial myths in that crisis��unexplored.��
