In the context of the reforms during the reign of Charles III of Spain, the figure of Pablo de Olavide y Jáuregui (1725-1803) is particularly noteworthy not only due to his literary achievements, his famous trial and condemnation by the Inquisition, but also for his legacy in the area of government. His efforts to overhaul university structures, teaching practices and curricula –particularly in the field of Law– were amongst his key initiatives. These reforms were contained in a new teaching programme that Olavide conceived for the University of Seville, which was articulated in a report commissioned by Charles III in 1768. The book contains a brief profile of Pablo de Olavide and a chronicle of the origin and development of university reform. Transcriptions of unpublished primary sources as manuscripts, letters and reports from various archives are included.---Estudio sobre el intento de reforma ilustrada de la Universidad de Sevilla en 1768, conducida por Pablo de Olavide y Jáuregui (1725-1803). Contiene una breve semblanza de Olavide, así como una crónica sobre la gestación y desarrollo de la reforma, de la que formó parte un amplio informe donde se sintetizaron estos planteamientos nuevos.

The first major English-language biography of Francisco Goya y Lucientes, considered the last of Spain's old masters and the first artist of the modern eraThe art of Francisco Goya (1746–1828) is informed by the age in which he lived, a period in Spain's history that saw a succession of kings at the court of Madrid, transformative changes in the country's politics and culture, and the devastation of the Iberian Peninsula in the war against Napoleon. In this revelatory biography, Janis Tomlinson draws on a wide range of documentation—including letters, court documents, and a sketchbook used by Goya in the early years of his career—to provide a nuanced portrait of a gifted painter and printmaker whose art is synonymous with compelling images of the people, events, and social transformation that defined his life and era.Tomlinson challenges the popular image of the artist as an isolated figure obsessed with darkness and death, showing how Goya's likeability and ambition contributed to his success at court, and offering new perspectives on his youth in Zaragoza, his rich family life, extensive travels, and lifelong friendships. She explores the full breadth of his imagery—from scenes inspired by life in Madrid to visions of worlds without reason, from royal portraits to the atrocities of war. She sheds light on the artist's personal trials, including the deaths of six children and the onset of deafness in middle age, but also challenges the conventional interpretation of Goya's late years as a period of disillusion, viewing them instead as years of artistic invention liberated, most famously in the murals painted onto the walls of his country house, popularly known as the "black" paintings.A monumental achievement, Goya is the definitive biography of an artist whose faith in his art and his genius inspired paintings, drawings, prints, and frescoes that continue to captivate, challenge, and surprise us two centuries later
