Deeply influenced by Enlightenment writers from Naples and France,
Vincenzo Cuoco (1770-1823) was forced into exile for his
involvement in the failed Neapolitan revolution of 1799. Living in
Milan, he wrote what became one of the nineteenth century's most
important treatises on political revolution. In his Historical
Essay on the Neapolitan Revolution of 1799, Cuoco synthesized the
work of Machiavelli, Vico, and Enlightenment philosophers to offer
an explanation for why and how revolutions succeed or fail. A major
influence on political thought during the unification of Italy, the
Historical Essay was also an inspiration to twentieth-century
thinkers such as Benedetto Croce and Antonio Gramsci. This critical
edition, featuring an authoritative translation, introduction, and
annotations, finally makes Cuoco's work fully accessible to an
English-speaking audience.
