As an early form of committed literature for the masses, the
romanzo storico risorgimentale between 1820 and 1870 held up the
heroic past of the country to a wide Italian readership. In a
melodramatic and stylized form it offered contemporary audiences
historical figures and action models by means of which they were
enable to experience themselves as Italians and as part of a
national community welded together by destiny. Alessandro Manzoni's
novel AI promessi sposiA (1827) also qualifies for treatment from
this specific historical vantage, though with its dialectic and
reflective description of history it has qualities that far exceed
the normal run of romanzi storici risorgimentali.
