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.
