Concluding its participation in the War of the Spanish Succession was not easy for the British government. Hampered by internal problems, it also had to face the strong campaign against peace carried out by the Whig opposition and the displeasure of its war allies. Among the measures taken by the Harley Cabinet to achieve peace, the use of the press and political propaganda was of vital importance. Through the study of the press and printed propaganda, the political documentation and the correspondence of those involved this article examines the government’s strategy and methods and its ability to adapt to the counterattacks mounted by the press linked to the opposition. It also analyses the internal contradictions of this propaganda campaign resulting from the opposition between the two key figures of the Tory government, Harley and Henry St. John, as well as its influence on the triumph of the peace option in the British Parliament.

In the year 1711, Harleyite diplomacy was driven by two major concerns: the credit crisis precipitated by the ministerial change of 1710, and the matter of the British engagement in the War of the Spanish Succession. Both issues were intimately linked, and their resolution well illustrates Robert Harley’s political vision, as a cross-partisan moderate, as well as his manipulation of public opinion for political gain. This article focuses on the role of Matthew Prior – poet, diplomat and propagandist – and the crisis generated by the revelation of secret peace negotiations between France and Britain in the summer of 1711. Based on extracts from the press, ballads, and a secret history, this article discusses the intermingling of politics and literature, the communication strategies put in place by the Harley administration and its opposition, and the consequences of this diplomatic incident.

Between late summer 1711, when secret Anglo-French negotiations to end the War of the Spanish Succession became public, and the signing of the Treaty of Utrecht in April 1713, Britain’s political discourse focused principally on the making of peace. While this discourse has been closely studied, coinciding as it did with the emergence of Habermas’s model public sphere, the role of Britain’s Allies in it has received relatively little attention. Following recent studies in the field of public diplomacy, this paper seeks to redress the balance, demonstrating how the Allies intervened in British political discourse to influence public opinion, Parliament and the negotiations in pursuit of their diplomatic objectives.

Euphemism and dysphemism are common within political communication as the former is a linguistic make-up leading to deception and distortion of reality (Rodríguez González 1991: 90) whereas the latter highlights the most pejorative traits of the taboo with an offensive aim (Crespo-Fernández 2015: 2). Considering this, I have analysed euphemism and dysphemism in George Ridpath’s political writings during the War of the Spanish Succession (1710-1713), in a corpus comprising two journals (The Observator and The Flying Post), and examined how this author used language to shape and manipulate Great Britain’s public opinion during the Stuart period. To this end, I have followed Taboada and Grieve’s (2004) approach of Appraisal Theory (Martin and White 2005) as well as Politeness Theory (Brown and Levinson 1987), Face Theory (Goffman 1967), Charteris-Black’s Critical Metaphor Analysis (2005: 45) and Conceptual Metaphor Theory (Gibbs 2011). The findings show that Ridpath used x-phemistic language to positively self-present the ingroup and negatively other-present the outgroup.

Resum Editem i contextualitzem breument un poema inèdit i desconegut copiat al ms. 1052 de la Biblioteca de la Universitat de Barcelona. Pels esdeveniments al·ludits, aquesta obra ha de datar de l’inici de la Guerra de la Successió (1702-1715), probablement de juny de 1706 o poc després. L’autor anònim s’adreça directament a l’arxiduc Carles d’Àustria tot incitant-lo a deixar la conquesta d’Aragó per la del Rosselló, on comptarà amb el suport de la població autòctona. Aquesta peça constitueix un document notable sobre l’impacte d’aquest conflicte bèl·lic a la Catalunya del Nord uns cinquanta anys després d’haver estat annexionada a la corona de França en el Tractat dels Pirineus (1659). Abstract We edit and contextualise an unpublished and unknown poem copied in ms. 1052 of the University of Barcelona Library. Judging from the events mentioned, this work must date from the beginning of the War of the Spanish Succession (1702-1715), probably in June 1706 or shortly thereafter. The anonymous author goes straight to the Archduke Charles III of Austria, urging him to change the conquest of Aragon for the conquest of Roussillon, where he will have the support of the local populace. This is a remarkable document on the impact of this war in Northern Catalonia about fifty years after it was annexed to the Crown of France by the Treaty of the Pyrenees (1659).

After the defeat in the War of the Spanish Succession (1702-1714), between 25.000 and 30.000 people, most of them Catalans, went into exile. The article analyses the behaviour of the exiled Spanish soldiers especially during the campaigns of 1716 and 1717 of the Ottoman-Venetian War. In that contest, three Spanish cavalry regiments and two infantry regiments took part actively. On the other hand, from 1735 onward, an important part of the Hispanic exile was moved to the Banat of Temeswar, territory incorporated into the Habsburg Monarchy by the Treaty of Passarowitz (1718). They set up a colony there, called New Barcelona, of ephemeral life. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Este artículo pretende mostrar el importante papel jugado por un miembro de la baja nobleza castellana durante la Guerra de Sucesión al servicio de Felipe V. Este servicio le valdrá para conseguir una serie de mercedes y reconocimientos que lo encumbrarán directamente a la Corte, poniendo de manifiesto las posibilidades de promoción social que propició un conflicto bélico para aquellos que, mostrándose fieles a la nueva dinastía, aprovecharon un momento convulso para ascender socialmente. El II marqués de Valdeguerrero supo capitalizar en su beneficio el esfuerzo desarrollado a lo largo de la contienda logrando un gran ascenso social.This article is aimed at showing the important role played by a member of the Castillian low nobility at the service of Felipe V during the Spanish War of Succession.This service helped him to achieve a series of favours and acknowledgments which will send /sent him directly to the Court. This fact proved the possibilities of social promotion which brought about a military conflict to those who, being loyal to the new dynasty, took advantage of a convulsed moment to promote socially. The II Marquis of Valdeguerrero knew how to capitalize the effort made along the battle for his own advantage, achieving a great social promotion.

Cloudesley Shovell, a British admiral of the early 18th century was at the head of the British Fleet in 1707 during the Siege of Toulon (War of the Spanish Succession). On their way back home, the four warships of the Fleet hit rocks in the Scilly Islands. All the members of the crew perished. This naval catastrophe, the worst in British history, became an opportunity to create a myth around the 1707 Siege of Toulon and turn Shovell into an iconic figure.

The War of the Spanish Succession affected the entire continent of Europe directly or indirectly. Within the Spanish monarchy, most of the states in the Crown of Aragon sided with Archduke Charles of Austria (Charles III), while Crown of Castile lent its support to Duke Philip of Anjou (Philip V). After the Treaty of Utrecht, Catalonia prolonged its resistance for 14 more months under a republican government. At the end of the war, the victors imposed repression, exile and the end to the Catalan constitutions.

Joseph Addison’s travel to France was never turned into a narrative. His Remarks on several parts of Italy only focused on Italy and a part of Switzerland. However, France is a favorite topic for the editor of The Spectator, as the Spanish Succession war thunders to its climax. The war is then transposed onto the papers co-edited with Steele, and England triumphantly emerges out of a Francophobe discourse. The tone changes in 1713 when the Treaty of Utrecht is signed; four travel letters, clearly dating from his French sojourn, are published in The Guardian. Here, by way of contrastive rhetoric, Addison questions the notion of English liberty, inherited form the Glorious Revolution of 1688.

The loss of Oran and Mers el-Kebir in 1708, and a still-dominant historiography guided by the concept of 'occupation restreinte' (restrained occupation), have hidden some of the Spanish Imperial preoccupation with the frontier in North Africa. Even during such critical moments as the War of the Spanish Succession and the onset of a particularly rigorous siege by the Algerians, the Hispanic Empire still managed to provide supplies and reinforcements to Oran and Mers el-Kébir. The collections of the Spanish archives highlight the mobilization of multiple actors and resources, both exogenous and endogenous to the Hispanic Empire. The preservation of this "presidio" till its downfall was a much more dynamic business than normally considered. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

According to historians, the military campaign of 1710 was a crucial turning point in the War of the Spanish Succession. Despite a favourable beginning to Charles III of Habsburg's progress to the Aragonese border, and the defeats of Bourbon troops in Almenar and Saragossa, the Allied army headed for Madrid, before proceeding towards its debacle in the Alcarria. However, it is necessary to know the causes and details of the royal stay in Madrid to understand better the course of the war. By examining local government papers from the council of Madrid, this study reveals the difficulties of and responses to a defensive war that decided the course of the Spanish dynastic conflict. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The Spanish Military's Engineering Corps, created by Royal Decree on 13 January 1710, is a force that has been accorded attention in the recent works of a number of eminent historians (Seguela, Capel Saez, Munoz Corbalan?). The Corps' development during the 18th century encouraged the development of scientific teaching in Spain, where the engineer came to be viewed as a skilled technician boasting significant professional training. This article aims to shed new light on the period preceding the creation of the Corps, and more specifically, on the presence of French military engineers in the Iberian Peninsula during the War of the Spanish Succession (1701-1715). This presence represents a little-known example of Franco-Spanish military cooperation between Louis XIV and Philip V. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
