At the time of his death in March of 1872, The Times of London
recorded that "We have to announce to-day the death of a man who in
his time has played a most singularly part upon the theatre of
European politics; on whose name has for years been regarded as a
symbol of revolution." Giuseppe Mazzini's name today is not nearly
as familiar to modern readers as he was to avid readers of the
mid-Victorian age for his name was virtually synonymous with the
revolutionary spirit. To his countrymen, he wrote of the innate
duties of man toward God, Country and Humanity. Included in THE
DUTIES OF MAN AND OTHER ESSAYS is Mazzini's passionate viewpoint on
the political inevitability of The French Revolution of 1789 as
well as giving the Italian "workingman" a taste of his
revolutionary political ideology on the fundamental rights of
individual conscience. GIUSEPPE MAZZINI, 1805-1872, was an Italian
nationalist and patriot, who, together with Giuseppe Garibaldi,
Camillo Benso di Cavour, and Victor Emmanuel II, is considered one
of the "patron saints" of the Italian Risorgimento. He committed
himself passionately to the cause of Italian independence and
unity, and as a result, was forced into exile in 1831 for his
revolutionary activities. His association, Giovine Italia (Young
Italy), founded in the 1830s, attracted adherents throughout the
country and among Italian political exiles everywhere. No other
Italian Risorgimento leader (with the exception of Giuseppe
Garibaldi) enjoyed greater international renown in his time for his
revolutionary vision of Italian national unity.
