Our Research Topics

The presence of British and Irish people in the Peninsula, and vice versa, brought about complex networks that contributed to establish the basis of a common culture of exchange of ideas and artistic expression. The networks of communication established by exiles, diplomatic missions and material objects such as books or gifts allowed for a material and cultural exchange that sometimes broadened, sometimes narrowed, the religious and political rift between these territories. Our group studies a range of networks: political, diplomatic and religious as well as those derived from travel and commerce. Their resulting textual production and transmission is our main topic of research.
