First Published in 1979, A History of Italy 1700-1860 provides a
comprehensive overview of Italy's political history from 1700-1860.
Divided in five parts it deals with themes like the re-emergence of
Italy; Italy as the 'pawn' of European diplomacy; social
physiognomy of the Italian states; problems of the government;
enlightenment and despotism (1760-90); the offensive against the
Church; revolution and moderation (1789-1814); revolution and the
break with the past; rationalization and social conservatism; the
search for independence (1815-47); legitimacy and conspiracy;
alternative paths towards a new Italy; and the cost of independence
(1848-61). It fills a major gap and presents a thoughtful and
well-integrated political narrative of this complex period in
Italy's development. This book is an essential read for students
and scholars of Italian history and European history.
