- Title
La educación del gentleman español. La influencia británica sobre la elite social española (1898-1936).
- Authors
Martínez del Campo, Luis G.
- Abstract
The reaction of the Spanish elite to the crisis of 1898 was the origin of different residential centres in which a new ruling class was educated. The educationalists who were in charge of those foundations were attracted by the English ideal of masculinity. They considered the English gentleman was the best model to educate a new Spanish minority who should be willing to regenerate Spain. As the British gentleman was educated at the oldest English universities, the Spanish residential institutions for undergraduates were made to be like Oxbridge Colleges. My paper sheds light on this cultural transfer.
