Abstract
This chapter explores the transnational practices of cultural sociability and exchange of Lord Henry Holland, his wife Elizabeth Vassall Fox, Lady Holland, and their close friend and companion Dr John Allen, with Hispanic culture and politics in the period of late Enlightenment. Using their journals, correspondence, and other varied documents that form part of the Holland House collection at the British Library, it foregrounds their role as mediators supporting multidirectional communicative practices and processes of cultural transfer in the diffusion, exchange, and transformation of Enlightenment ideas in relation to Spain and Spanish America, over more than 4 decades from 1793–1845.
