The Union of Italy 1815-1895 is a comprehensive historical account of the process of unification of Italy from the Congress of Vienna in 1815 to the end of the 19th century. Written by William James Stillman, an American journalist and artist who lived in Italy during the period, the book provides a detailed analysis of the political, social, and cultural dynamics that shaped the country's transformation from a collection of independent states to a unified nation-state.The book covers a wide range of topics, including the role of nationalism and liberalism in the unification process, the rise of Giuseppe Garibaldi and the Redshirts, the influence of foreign powers such as France and Austria, and the challenges of building a new political and economic system. Stillman also explores the cultural and intellectual movements that helped to shape the identity of the new Italy, including the Risorgimento, the Romantic movement, and the influence of Italian literature and art.Throughout the book, Stillman provides a nuanced and detailed account of the complex and often conflicting forces that drove the process of unification, as well as the personalities and events that shaped Italy's path to nationhood. Drawing on a wealth of primary sources and his own experiences living in Italy, Stillman offers a rich and engaging narrative that will appeal to anyone interested in Italian history, politics, and culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
