In Italy, an extraordinary emotional excitement pervaded the struggle for national independence, suffusing the speeches and actions of patriots. This book shows how this ardour borrowed the tones, figures and spectacular nature of the melodramatic imagination feeding the theatre and literature of the time, and how it could resonate with a largely uneducated audience. An important contribution to the new historiography on the Italian \u003ci\u003eRisorgimento \u003c\/i\u003eand on nineteenth-century nationalism in Europe, it offers a fresh perspective on the public sphere during the \u003ci\u003eRisorgimento\u003c\/i\u003e, focusing on the transnational links between political mobilisation and the growth of new media and burgeoning mass culture. \u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2022-05-04\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783030697341\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-030-69732-7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 302\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46026231709836,"sku":"9783030697341","price":125.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783030697341.jpg?v=1776883543","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783030697341","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
