Description
The Italian Risorgimento by Martin Clark provides a comprehensive account of the complex process that led to the unification of Italy in the 19th century. This revised edition explores the economic, social and religious contexts of Unification, as well as its diplomatic and military aspects, shedding new light on the roles of key figures such as Cavour and Garibaldi. Clark examines the recent historiographical shift away from uncritical celebration of Italian unity, questioning whether it was a genuine national movement or simply an aspect of European secularisation. The book also delves into the impact of Unification on the South and the complexity of the political realities of the time. With its carefully chosen selection of original documents, this new edition offers a nuanced understanding of how modern Italy came to be.
