ABSTRACT
Recently, two fine general surveys of early nineteenth-century Italy have been published which complement one another well: Stuart Woolf, A History of Italy 1700-1860: The Social Constraints of Political Change (Methuen, 1979)*; and Harry Hearder, Italy in the Age of the Risorgimento (Longman, 1983)*. Some of the main documents of the period have been edited and translated in Denis Mack Smith, The Making of Italy, 1796-1870 (Macmillan, 1968), and Derek Beales, The Risorgimento and the Unification of Italy (Allen & Unwin, 1971)*. A more specialized study is Denis Mack Smith, A History of Sicily: Modem Sicily after 1713 (Chatto & Windus, 1968).
