Having married and settled in Florence in the 1840s, the poet and
translator Theodosia Trollope (1816 65) found herself well placed
to chronicle the events which contributed to the unification of
Italy. While another Englishwoman in Italy, Elizabeth Barrett
Browning, would become better known for her verse, Trollope
nevertheless firmly established herself in the liberal and literary
circles of Florentine society, allowing her to witness at first
hand, and explore in prose, the effects that the Risorgimento was
having on those living through it. Vividly capturing the unfolding
situation in Tuscany, twenty-seven letters first appeared in The
Athenaeum in 1859 60. They were published together in this work of
1861, along with an update on the months that had elapsed since the
last letter was written in April 1860. Championing the cause of
unification, Trollope's writing helped to generate enthusiasm in
Britain for the progress and personalities of the Risorgimento."
