Bücher von John Arthur Ransome Marriott

The Makers of Modern Italy is a book written by John Arthur Ransome Marriott, which was first published in 1889. It is a collection of three lectures delivered by the author at Oxford University, focusing on the lives and contributions of three prominent figures in Italian history: Giuseppe Mazzini, Camillo di Cavour, and Giuseppe Garibaldi. The book provides a detailed account of the political and social context of Italy during the 19th century, and how these three men played a crucial role in shaping the nation's destiny. Mazzini, a political philosopher and revolutionary, is credited with inspiring the Italian unification movement and promoting the idea of a unified Italian state. Cavour, a statesman and diplomat, played a key role in negotiating alliances and securing the support of foreign powers for the Italian cause. Garibaldi, a military leader and national hero, led the struggle for Italian independence and unification through his military campaigns.Marriott's lectures provide a comprehensive analysis of the lives and legacies of these three figures, and their impact on modern Italy. The book is an important historical document, shedding light on the social, political, and cultural factors that shaped Italy's national identity and its place in the world. It is a must-read for 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.
