Foreword
Lancaster Pamphlets offer concise and up-to-date accounts of major historical topics, primarily for the help of students preparing for Advanced Level examinations, though they should also be of value to those pursuing introductory courses in universities and other institutions of higher education. Without being all-embracing, their aims are to bring some of the central themes or problems confronting students and teachers into sharper focus than the textbook writer can hope to do; to provide the reader with some of the results of recent research which the textbook may not embody; and to stimulate thought about the whole interpretation of the topic under discussion.
At the end of this pamphlet is a list of works, most of them recent or fairly recent, which the writer considers most important for those who wish to study the subject further.
Acknowledgements
I should like to express my sincere gratitudc to the two editors of the Lancaster Pamphlets, my colleagues Eric Evans and David King, for their helpful comments on the first draft of this pamphlet; to the many Lancaster students who through their interest in Spanish history have enabled me constantly to renew my own; and above all to my wife, Irene, and my daughter, Anna, for their unwavering support and understanding.
