This article presents an analysis of the historiography on the right in Spain. In the context of European historical revisionism, it shows the need to overcome Marxist explanatory models, which tend to simplify the complexity of the political and ideological right-wing world equating it with fascism. It proposes the use of historiographical models such as those of Mosse, De Felice, Gentile, Linz, and Payne with which to analyze the particularities and nuances of the Spanish right, especially in the years till the civil war.
