• Resumen

  • Spain became a centre of world attention during the civil war of 1936-39. This attention was echoed after the world conflict of 1939-45, particularly in England and France. Public curiosity towards conditions within Spain between 1946 and 1960 gave rise to a considerable body of travel literature in English on the Peninsula. Many of the British visitors included notable literary figures, who produced a number of contemporary English classics of travel in Spain, from which my article draws its references. The composite picture the works in question offer is a unique one of Spain during a unique period of the country's historical evolution in the 20th century.
