The Age of Lincoln and Cavour: Comparative Perspectives on 19th-Century American and Italian Nation-Building

by Enrico Dal Lago

Book Overview

In the 19th century, both Italy and the US were young countries pursuing liberal nationalism even as unity was threatened by a recalcitrant southern population. This nuanced analysis of abolitionism and Italian democratic nationalism, Lincoln and Cavour, and the nation's two civil wars provides powerful new insights into their histories.
