England and Spain in the Early Modern Era Summary

England and Spain in the Early Modern Era: Royal Love, Diplomacy, Trade and Naval Relations 1604-25 by Oscar Alfredo Ruiz Fernandez (Technical University of Civil Engineering Bucharest)

The early 17th century was a time of great literature the era of Cervantes and Shakespeare but also of international tension and heightened diplomacy. This book looks at the relations between Spain under Philip III and Philip IV and England under James I in the period 1603-1625. It examines the essential issues that established the framework for diplomatic relations between the two states, looking not only at questions of war and peace, but also of trade and piracy. Oscar Alfredo Ruiz Fernandez expertly argues that the diplomatic relationship was vital to the strategic interests of both powers and also played a highly significant role in the domestic agendas of each country. Based on Spanish and English archival sources, England and Spain in the Early Modern Era provides, for the first time, a clear picture of diplomacy between England and Spain in the early modern era.

England and Spain in the Early Modern Era Reviews

An interesting account of Anglo-Spanish relations in a period between conflicts, this well researched work provides particular insights into the purposes and means of Spanish diplomacy. * European Review of History *
[An] innovative overall approach to the British and Spanish monarchies in his target era. * Michigan War Studies Review *
Full of insights and startlingly contemporary resonances, this is the richest study to date of Spain and England's diplomatic, political, and military relations from the 1604 Treaty of London until the outbreak of war in 1625. Making ample use of a range of untapped archival sources, this fascinating study illuminates the complexities of European dissensions in a globalising world. * Dr Alexander Samson, Reader in Early Modern Studies, University College London, UK *
Based on substantial archival research, this book makes an important contribution to understanding the policies of the Stuarts and the Habsburgs against a background of international conflicts. It addresses the implications for each monarchy and ultimately, given the scope of the Spanish Empire and England's incipient presence in North America and the Caribbean, for international and global histories. * Silvia Z. Mitchell, Assistant Professor of History, Purdue University, USA *
