LUNA SANTIAGO, Germán. The Romantic Spirit in Lucas Alamán’s Dissertations. Hist. graf [online]. 2025, n.64, pp.229-259.  Epub 25-Fev-2025. ISSN 1405-0927.  https://doi.org/10.48102/hyg.vi64.537.

This essay does not intend to argue that Lucas Alamán was a romantic, but rather to elucidate the historiographical references of Romanticism that could have influenced the author to elaborate the image of the Conquest and the Colony that he presented in his Disertaciones. The central hypothesis maintains that in Alamán’s historical imagination, interpretations, and representations from European romantic historiography, but especially the French, can be detected. The Spanish colonization in Mexico as an episode of barbarism and fusion of the peoples that Alamán enunciated has a close relationship with the nineteenth-century European historiographical account of the bloody invasions of the Germans and the forging of the national spirit of modern states in the Middle Ages.
