Abstract

Aproximación sociológica al exilio liberal español en la Década Ominosa

This article, the first issued of a larger research, investigates the social composition of the Spanish liberal exile between 1823 and 1833, delving into the enormous historical material kept, mainly, in Paris’ Archives Nationales (series F7) and Madrid’s Archivo Histórico Nacional. The results of this research are amazing in several senses, showing for instance the importance of the lower classes in the liberal exile. The article offers a new and more complex image about the social basis of the first Spanish liberalism.
