This is the first monographic study of the Semanario Erudito, one of the most important learned periodicals of late eighteenth-century Spain. Its editor, Antonio Valladares de Sotomayor (1737–1820), sought to recover the history of Spain and, through his periodical, instruct his readers. The book begins by discussing Valladares’s life and works; he was a prolific and popular dramatist, as well as a professional editor of books and other periodicals. Documents from Spain’s Archivo Histórico Nacional inform the next two chapters, which examine the periodical’s history; these chapters treat the censorship process, as well as the printers, sellers andreaders of the Semanario. The book’s second half looks at what Valladares published – reformist tracts by arbitristas and proyectistas, reflections on the monarchy and the role of privados, writings by eighteenth-century figures such as Macanaz, Burriel, Mayans and Sarmiento – and suggests why he might have selected particular texts for his readers.
The first study of the Semanario Erudito, an important late eighteenth-century Spanish periodical.
This book tells the story of one of the most important and long-lived of the erudite periodicals published in Spain in the eighteenth century, the Semanario Erudito and its editor, Antonio Valladares de Sotomayor (17371820). Founded in 1887, the Semanario ceased publication when private periodicals were prohibited in February 1791.
Through the Semanario Erudito Valladares sought to teach his readers Spanish history. Each week he published historical documents he believed would be instructive; most had never before been published. Spain''s Eighteenth-Century Periodical Press examines not only Valladaress life and works and the history of the Semanario, including its printers, sellers, and readers, but it also discusses the history of printing laws and censorship and the documents Valladares published on topics such as the monarchy, economic reform, and Spains place on the world stage.
