Under persecution a new literature was born in the service of conservatism

Evidence

Maurophilia is the voice of a coalition of forces and groupings engaged in a struggle against the policy of duress and violence. This coalition was made up of the nobility, the Moriscos, the bourgeoisie, the [Jewish] conversos, the “political” intellectuals, clerics of an irenic persuasion, “liberals” as we would say nowadays. It is a whole opposition contingent that we would hardly expect to come across if we were to judge solely from the bibliography available to us. — L. P.
