"This monograph is a translation of La Nazione del Risorgimento, an important work in Italian history of recent years. It analyses features of the idea of nationhood that animated the Italian Risorgimento movement during the first half of the 19th century. Through an innovative interdisciplinary approach, the book argues that Risorgimento nationalism, in contrast to the dominant views in post-1945 Italian historiography, was based mainly on an ethnic (naturalistic and deterministic) conception of the Italian nation"-- Provided by publisher.
