| Summary | "A History of Spain" by Charles E. Chapman is a comprehensive historical account written in the early 20th century. The work aims to provide an in-depth overview of Spanish history with a particular focus on its civilization and cultural evolution, especially concerning its transfer to the Americas. It looks at the growth of institutions and societal structures from the beginning of recorded history in Spain, positioning these developments within a broader historical and cultural context." "The opening of the book outlines Chapman's intention to present a concise narrative that reflects the evolution of Spanish civilization from various perspectives, acknowledging both historical continuity and change. The preface discusses the significance of understanding Spanish history in relation to American cultures, which have been influenced by Spanish institutions and civilization. It introduces the book as a selection rather than a summary, indicating that it distills rich historical material into an accessible format designed for both general readers and academic settings. Moreover, it emphasizes the geographic and cultural uniqueness of Spain, setting the stage for a discussion of its early peoples and the historic ramifications of its geographical identity."
