The Risorgimento and the Unification of Italy introduces the reader to the relationship between the Italian national movement, the Risorgimento, and the unification of Italy in 1859-71. In this edition the rise of liberal and national attitudes in the various states of Italy is discussed in the context of the literary, cultural, religious and political history of Europe during this period. New chapters on the development of the Italian language and the role of women have been added. Further new chapters cover the last stage of unification and describe how the new Kingdom of Italy established itself (to 1876).
