Printed Media in Fin-de-siecle Italy - Publishers, Writers, and Readers (Hardcover)

The Unification of Italy in 1870 heralded a period of unprecedented change. While successive Liberal governments pursued imperial ventures and took Italy into World War One on the Allied side, on the domestic front technological advance, the creation of a national transport network, the expansion of state education, internal migration to cities and the rise of political associations all contributed to the rapid expansion of the print industry and the development of new and highly diversified reading publics. Drawing on publishers archives, letters, diaries, and printed material, this book provide the most up-to-date research into the printed media books, magazines and journals in Italy between 1870 and 1914. With essays on publishers and reading communities, the professionalization of the role of journalist and writer, children s literature, book illustrations, and printed media in colonial territories among others, this book is intended for those with interests in cultural production and consumption and questions of nation-formation and nationhood in and outside Italy.
