Summary

The studies on popular religiousness in the Spain of the Modern Age have undergone a spectacular development over the last twenty-five years, at least in so far as congresses, conferences and all kinds of publications are concerned. Contributions, however, except for some concrete cases, have hardly ever gone beyond the mere description of local religious demonstrations, without paying attention to their evolution, to the deep changes in mentality during the modern centuries and without accomplishing comparative historical studies. The author reviews the historiographic production of the last few years, and makes methodological and future research proposals.
