Abstract
This article concerns Sir William Stirling Maxwell (1818–1878), a pioneer scholar and collector of Spanish art with close links to the University of Glasgow, whose Library’s Special Collections benefited from the bequest of many of his emblem books and festival books. The article first considers his important role in Higher Education reform, charting his association with several universities in Scotland, notably with Glasgow University, whose fundraising campaign he assisted to bring about its new campus at Gilmorehill in the city’s West-End, designed by Gilbert Scott. The article then examines his legacy to the University of Glasgow, focusing on key examples of Spanish books in the Stirling Maxwell Collection, to show their significance for new approaches within interdisciplinary studies concerned with emblems, festivals, illustrations, book-collecting and word-image relations.
