A collection of documents on the process of Italian Unification 1831-61, with related questions designed for sixth form studies. Each chapter focuses on a particular problem or event, while the overall question of the book asks to what extent the Risorgimento was a coherent movement. The main area of controversy concerns the role played by the three heroes of the Risorgimento - Cavour, Garibaldi and Mazzini - and their interaction with outside agents such as Napoleon III.

Michael Morrogh provides an easy-to-follow introduction to the unification of Italy - the Risorgimento - using a broad range of contemporary documents to guide the student through the topic. A brief general introduction puts the whole subject into context, while each of the chapters contains a helpful commentary section, and questions to encourage the student to think in depth and to approach the documentary evidence from different perspectives.
A wide variety of source material is used - not only letters and speeches, but diaries, unreliable memoirs, cartoons from Punch, and literary extracts. This new edition also contains valuable contemporary documents by a female American journalist.
MICHAEL MORROGH is Head of History at Shrewsbury School.
