Abstract

The paper shows an overview of the concept of people throughout the 19th Century in Spain and France. On the one hand, it tries to find out the process of making of the people's myth, like a construction of an account about its role in History. On the other hand, the author contrasts the evidence of the political and literary sources which are common in the historian's work with the people's image that we find in other less common sources, such as police documentation. The paper puts as well a double parallelism: the comparison between France and Spain —with significant coincidences— and the evolution of the liberalism and democracy concepts until the end of the 19th Century.
