Summary/Abstract: The aim of this study is to analyse the reviews of travelogues on Spain that appeared in British literaryperiodicals in the second half of the 18th century. Based on a study of three reviews in the Critical Review,it notes how such texts were structured, how the reviewers approached the task of travel writing,and how they viewed the usefulness of the genre for the reader. Given the particular position of Spain inBritish discourse of the time, the study also considers the individual reactions of reviewers in their descriptionsof that country, providing an insight into their opinions of Spain and the Spaniards and theprevalent stereotypes that informed them.
