Society and Politics in the Age of the Risorgimento contains ten
essays written in honour of Denis Mack Smith by leading British and
Italian specialists. The volume is intended both as a tribute to
Denis Mack Smith's outstanding contribution to Italian history and
as an attempt to open up wider debate on Italian society and
politics in the period of the Risorgimento, bringing aspects of
nineteenth-century Italian politics and social history into a
comparative European context. Topics discussed in the volume
include the collapse of the ancien regime in southern Italy; the
Italian armies in the Napoleonic period; debates on poverty in
Italy and Europe in the early nineteenth century; family and
marriage; the origins of the mafia in Sicily; peasant protest in
the Po valley; Garibaldi and England in the 1860s; the emergence of
an Italian middle class; women workers; and the politics of the
critic Francesco De Sanctis.
