Since its formation in 1861, Italy has struggled to develop an
effective political system and a secure sense of national identity.
This new edition of Christopher Duggan's acclaimed introduction
charts the country's history from the fall of the Roman Empire in
the west to the present day and surveys the difficulties Italy has
faced during the last two centuries in forging a nation state.
Duggan successfully weaves together political, economic, social and
cultural history, and stresses the alternation between materialist
and idealist programmes for forging a nation state. This second
edition has been thoroughly revised and updated to offer increased
coverage of nineteenth- and twentieth-century Italy, as well as a
new section devoted to Italy in the twenty-first century. With a
new, extensive bibliographical essay and a detailed chronology,
this is the ideal resource for those seeking an authoritative and
comprehensive introduction to Italian history.
