- Title
ENTRE LA MODERNIDAD Y EL ABSOLUTISMO: LA PERCEPCIÓN DE ESPAÑA EN LA DIPLOMACIA NORTEAMERICANA (1868-1898).

- Abstract
This article deals with the different images of Spain transmitted by U. S. diplomatic representatives between the Revolution of 1868 and the War of 1898 in order to determine the weight these images could have had in the formulation of U. S. foreign policy. The analysis focuses on the diplomats’ official and private correspondence held in U. S. archives, but it also pays attention to their publications in newspapers, journals and books. Although it is accepted that the predominant view in the United States of nineteenth- century Spain was that of a romantic and picturesque country still clinging to its past, following the Revolution of 1868 the U. S. diplomats more concerned with Spanish matters began to offer accounts of Spain’s modernization process to their superiors and their fellow citizens alike.
