Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This second edition has been updated and expanded to take account of the results of historical research, and includes extra primary and secondary source material. In addition to new chapters on the relationship between the Risorgimento and the arts and how far Italian society was changed by unification, the title examines reasons why progress towards unification was so slow at first, and why after 1850 it became so speedy. In doing so, it gives due attention to the roles played by Cavour, Mazzini, Garibaldi, Pope Pius IX, Napoleon III, Charles Albert and Victor Emmanuel, and attempts to answer the question who made Italy?. The text also includes study guides which contain exercises and advice on tackling differentiated exam questions.
