Unite, proletarian brothers! :radicalism and revolution in the Spanish Second Republic

Matthew, Kerry - Nama Orang

The origins of this book lie in a doctoral thesis defended at the University
of Sheffield, later revised at York University, Durham University and
the University of Leeds, and prepared for publication at the University
of Stirling. The original research would not have been possible without
a Hossein Farmy scholarship from the University of Sheffield and I am
also grateful for further funding provided by the Royal Historical Society, a
Scouloudi award from the Institute of Historical Research and a postdoctoral
fellowship at York University. The Division of History, Heritage and Politics
at the University of Stirling kindly funded the two maps produced by Cox
Cartographic.
Staff at archives and libraries in Asturias, Madrid, Salamanca and Toronto
were patient and helpful, even when faced with nebulous descriptions of
what I was trying to do. A special mention is due to Councillor Ramón
Francisco Velasco Fernández for entrusting me with the key to the
municipal archive in Aller and allowing me to peruse documents in the
elegant surroundings of the council chambers. The PhD thesis could not
have been completed without the generous support of the Lavilla Cañedo
family, who provided a welcoming and supportive environment for research
and absorbing Asturian culture. Ángela shared the challenges of the doctoral
journey, discussed ideas and commented on innumerable drafts.
