Summary: Intellectual Bridges link Spain and Germany
Comment: This splendid book is a must for anyone interested in Spanish-German relations over the last several hundred years. Since Spain was long part of the Habsburg Empire, and since Franco's Spain was allied with Hitler's Germany, those relations are both complex and significant. The book's 21 essays cover three periods: The Middle Ages and Habsburg years, the Enlightenment, and from the Spanish Civil War to the present. Most are well written and contain useful bibliography. In addition, 38 pages are devoted to bibliography on German-Spanish relations and there are good onomastic and subject indices. I was particularly taken by the essays linking literary traditions (Kabbala and mysticism, Calderón and German theater, Schlegel and Cervantes, Heine, Unamuno, Neruda, etc.), and by Conrad Kent's well-illustrated essay on the Spanish Civil War as interpreted by German photographers.
