"impartial and dispassionate"???

[edit]

The article claims that "[h]is history was so impartial and dispassionate that he found it necessary to assure his readers [that he was]" Wow! So he's "impartial and dispassionate" because he says so? What?

Adolfo de Castro was known for his polemical assaults on the Catholic Monarchs, the Church, and most other traditional institutions in Spain. He was part of a liberal movement in the nineteenth century pushing back (rather aggressively) on what they saw as the traditional Spanish view of its history and character. While there is plenty of merit to his scholarship, calling him "impartial and dispassionate" is just ridiculous. This article needs a major overhaul. The Castilian version is far better, and someone should aim to use it to rework this one to be more like it. I wish I had time to do so. I'm sorry I don't. 131.204.181.173 (talk) 14:27, 28 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
