This important book is the first to explore the fascination of the
Pre-Raphaelite painters with Italy: its landscape, art and culture.
Covering the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood in the broadest sense, from
its foundation in 1848 to the second generation (including
Burne-Jones and Crane), it also includes the works of a group of
English artists known as the Etruscans, who were followers of the
Italian painter Giovanni Costa. Ruskin, whose awareness of Italy
was both imaginative and visceral and who made numerous trips to
Italy throughout his life, emerges as a key influence on the
relationship of the Pre-Raphaelite painters to Italian culture. In
addition to his writings, including the monumental Stones of
Venice, Ruskin's own drawings provide a personal record of his
engagement with the places he visited. Featuring full-colour
illustrations of the 138 paintings in the exhibition, including
works in private collections not previously reproduced, The
Pre-Raphaelites and Italy examines the relationship of the
Pre-Raphaelite brothers to Italy and to each other in a fresh and
original way and will be essential reading for all students of
19th-century art and culture.
The experience of exiles was fundamental for shaping Italian
national identity. Risorgimento in Exile investigates the
contribution to Italian nationalism made by the numerous patriots
who were forced to live in exile following failed revolutions in
the Italian states.
Examining the writings of such exiles, Maurizio Isabella
challenges recent historiography regarding the lack of genuine
liberal culture in the Risorgimento. He argues that these emigres'
involvement in debates with British, continental, and American
intellectuals points to the emergence of Liberalism and Romanticism
as international ideologies shared by a community of patriots that
stretched from Europe to Latin America.
Risorgimento in Exile represents the first effort to place Italian
patriotism in a broad international framework, revealing the
importance and originality of the Italian contribution to European
Anglophilia and Philhellenism, and to transatlantic debates on
federalism. In doing so, it demonstrates that the Risorgimento
first developed as a variation upon such global trends."
"Mediterranean Diasporas" looks at the relationship between
displacement and circulation of ideas within and from the
Mediterranean basin. In bringing together leading historians of
ideas and nationalism working on Southern Europe, the Balkans, the
Middle East and North Africa for the first time, it builds bridges
across national historiographies, raises a number of comparative
questions and unveils unexplored intellectual connections and
ideological formulations.As the book shows, in the so-called age of
nationalism, the idea of the nation state was by no means dominant,
as displaced intellectuals and migrant communities developed
notions of double national affiliations. By adopting the
Mediterranean as a framework of analysis, the contributors offer a
fresh contribution to the growing field of transnational and global
intellectual history, revising the genealogy of 19th-century
nationalism, and reveal new perspectives on the intellectual
dynamics of the age of revolutions. This book puts the
Mediterranean space back into a broader transnational context, and
as such will be of interest to anyone studying or researching the
region, as well as anyone with an interest in the history of
nationalism and the global circulation of ideas.
