José Joaquín de Mora and Britain: Cultural Transfers and Transformations
This book explores the connections that José Joaquín de Mora (1783–1864)
established with Britain, where he was exiled from 1823 to 1826 and was to
return as diplomat in the following decades. His admiration for the British
materialised in a series of cultural transfers aimed at the promotion and diffusion
of British culture in Spain and Spanish America. He contributed to the
popularization of Bentham’s utilitarianism, the principles of British classical
economy, and the philosophy of the Scottish School of Common Sense; he
translated texts by Scott and Shakespeare and wrote an unfinished version
of Byron’s Don Juan; and, above all, he presented Britain as a model for the
political, economic, and literary regeneration of the Hispanic world.

Über die Autorin
Sara Medina Calzada teaches English language and literature at the University
of Valladolid (Spain). Her main research interest is in Anglo-Hispanic historical
and cultural relations in the nineteenth century and, more particularly, in
the literary activities of the Spanish liberal exiles in London (1823–1833), the
reception of British literature in the Hispanic world, and the representations
of Spain in Romantic Britain.
