Naples and Napoleon

Southern Italy and the European Revolutions, 1780-1860

Beschreibung

Naples and Napoleon rewrites the history of Italy in the age of the European revolutions, showing how the South was the first to experience challenges that would undermine all pre-Unification Italian rulers. Davis reshapes our understanding of how Italy came to be unified, and why after Unification the South became such a problem.
