La metamorfosis del bandido: de delincuente a guerrillero
Resumen
The Bandit’s Metamorphosis: from Criminal to Guerrillero
The essay studies banditry in Spain from the end of the Seventeenth to the first half of the Eighteenth Century. It tries to reconstruct the bandolero’s typology and some features of the mitology of the War of Independence’s guerrilleros, trying to establish the analogies between the two characters. Both are «heroes» with strong popular support in contrast with the individualistic stance of their behaviour. The sources are the travellers’ memoirs, the pliegos de cordel and the documentary evidence found in Madrid’s Archivo Histórico Nacional.
