Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sicily and England: Political and Social Reminiscences, 1848 1870 IN order that my readers may realise more clearly the condition of Sicily at the time of the revolution of 1848, as well as the many links which bound the island to England, I have thought it advisable to preface these reminiscences of my family by a sketch of the political events which produced the several risings against the Bourbons and culminated in the insurrection of 1848, when so many of our patriots were driven into exile after maintaining their island's independence for a year and a half against the power of Naples. Before doing this, however, it will be well to glance at the earlier history of Sicily, and to remind my readers that the island was made a representa tive kingdom much about the same time as England, and by the same adventurous race that swept away the anglo-saxon dynasty. William the Conqueror conquered an island where civilisation was only beginning to dawn: when Count Roger made him self master of Sicily he found the laws, the culture.

Book excerpt: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1907 edition. Excerpt: ... chapter xii some reflections on modern italy It is now more than forty-five years since Italy was made one country, and thirty-five years since the last shots were fired at Porta Pia, which gave Italy her rightful centre, and made Rome once more the capital of the peninsula. And, looking over these reminiscences of my parents and their friends, and of their struggles and their hopes, I ask myself if the Unity has realised all the patriotic dreams it inspired, if it has justified the countless sacrifices that were so cheerfully made, the noble blood that was so heroically shed, to bring it into being; if the aspirations of those who worked and suffered for its creation have been fulfilled. From the historical point of view the answer must be in the affirmative, but so far as the actual well-being of the nation is concerned the Unity has only been partially successful; a circumstance that has arisen partly from the chaos of the country's creation, partly as a result of the times, and partly, again, from errors committed by the Government in the earlier years--errors that might easily have been avoided. In their dreams of one nation, united, free, and obeying the constitutional rule of one sovereign, the patriots took little heed of the different characteristics of the Italian people in the various parts of the kingdom, characteristics which, although overswept by the torrent of patriotism, were bound to assert themselves the moment it came to a question of practical government. In the desire of welding the various States firmly together in those early days, political union was ever placed before economical union, and uniform laws were hastily passed, which time has proved to have been disadvantageous to the general prosperity of the...
Download or read book Exiles from European Revolutions written by Sabine Freitag and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2003 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studies on exile in the 19th century tend to be restricted to national histories. This volume is the first to offer a broader view by looking at French, Italian, Hungarian, Polish, Czech and German political refugees who fled to England after the European revolutions of 1848/49. The contributors examine various aspects of their lives in exile such as their opportunities for political activities, the forms of political cooperation that existed between exiles from different European countries on the one hand and with organizations and politicians in England on the other and, finally, the attitude of the host country towards the refugees, and their perceptions of the country which had granted them asylum. Sabine Freitag is Research Fellow at the German Historical Institute in London. Rudolf Muhs is Lecturer in German History at the University of London (Royal Holloway).

Download or read book Beyond the Traveller s Gaze written by Giorgia Alù and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2008 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a stimulating analysis of three non-canonical texts in different genres written by British women who lived in Sicily in the second half of the nineteenth and the beginning of the twentieth centuries. These texts cover a series of crucial political events as well as social and cultural changes which affected the history of Sicily during the period in question, all seen through the direct and indirect experiences of the authors. The book offers a historical perspective on the late-Victorian and Edwardian representations of post-Unification Italy. At the same time the author challenges current critical literature on travel writing which tends to analyse travel texts without making substantial distinction between works written during a brief visit to a foreign country and those produced during a long-term or permanent residence. The book adopts an interdisciplinary, comparative approach. The three texts are studied by looking at patterns of connection in other written and visual works produced during, or after, an experience in Italy. By drawing on theories of travel writing, genre and gender, along with visual and cultural studies, the author aims to verify how the three texts respond to being analysed as a distinct group, and hence define the specific roles and functions of expatriate women's writing.

Download or read book Risorgimento in Exile written by Maurizio Isabella and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2009-08-27 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 émigrés' 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.
Download or read book Giovanni Battista Guccia written by Benedetto Bongiorno and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-07-19 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the life and work of mathematician Giovanni Battista Guccia, founder of the Circolo Matematico di Palermo and its renowned journal, the Rendiconti del Circolo matematico di Palermo. The authors describe how Guccia, an Italian geometer, was able to establish a mathematical society in Sicily in the late nineteenth century, which by 1914 would grow to become the largest and most international in the world, with one of the most influential journals of the time. The book highlights the challenges faced by Guccia in creating an international society in isolated Palermo, and places Guccia’s activities in the wider European context through comparisons with the formation of the London Mathematical Society and the creation of Mittag-Leffler’s Acta Mathematica in Stockholm. Based on extensive searches in European archives, this scholarly work follows both historical and scientific treads, and will appeal to those interested in the history of mathematics and science in general.
