Byron and the Rhetoric of Italian Nationalism (Hardcover)

Making extensive use of untranslated texts, "Byron and the Rhetoric of Italian Nationalism" analyzes the incorporation of Byron's life and works into Italian political discourse during the "risorgimento," unification, and the two world wars. Italian authors appreciated his celebration of liberty and nationalism so much that between 1818 and 1948, they referred to Byron more than to any other non-Italian poet. Arnold Anthony Schmidt explores the intellectual milieu of Byron's Italian years, his participation in Grand Tour and salon culture, his influence on Italian Classicists and Romantics, and his importance in constructing Italy's national identity.
