In the almost complete absence of other extensive historical studies on the matter and period in question, the authors are conscious of what might be termed – perhaps too grandiosely – their historical responsibilities. The methods of research we have chosen, the focus employed and our conceptualization of what material is relevant to our history will reflect, to some degree, our own quests and concerns not to speak of the availability of library and archive material. Instead of an extensive exposition of our theoretical framework, apart from some necessary considerations which follow, we have tried to let theoretical insights inform our writing implicitly. Our book is guided by a number of questions such as the following: How far are existing models for the history of homosexuality both in Spain and wider afield adequate for Spain? Are the discourses on the configuration of the history of male homosexuality in Spain as specific as, say, the Spanish nineteenth century with its battles between absolutism and liberalism and the rise of political movements such as Carlism or anarchism; how peculiar, in a word, is the history of Spanish homosexuality?
