Book Description
Excerpt from Mademoiselle Mori: A Tale of Modern Rome The beauty and interest of Ancient Rome have been long the theme of travellers, poets, and historians, and it is an interest that can never be forgotten; but now a new one is springing up there. Besides the dead Past, there is a living Present, and the aim of the following pages is to give some description of the thoughts and feelings that stir Modern Rome and some picture of that every-day life in the Eter nal City, which would not be more wonderful, more beauti ful, or more interesting than every-day life elsewhere, if it were not that it has been of late years marked by some touch of heroism, and that it may ere long be so distinguished again.

Book Description
Giuseppe Garibaldi, the Italian revolutionary leader and popular hero, was among the best-known figures of the nineteenth century. This book seeks to examine his life and the making of his cult, to assess its impact, and understand its surprising success. For thirty years Garibaldi was involved in every combative event in Italy. His greatest moment came in 1860, when he defended a revolution in Sicily and provoked the collapse of the Bourbon monarchy, the overthrow of papal power in central Italy, and the creation of the Italian nation state. It made him a global icon, representing strength, bravery, manliness, saintliness, and a spirit of adventure. Handsome, flamboyant, and sexually attractive, he was worshiped in life and became a cult figure after his death in 1882. Lucy Riall shows that the emerging cult of Garibaldi was initially conceived by revolutionaries intent on overthrowing the status quo, that it was also the result of a collaborative effort involving writers, artists, actors, and publishers, and that it became genuinely and enduringly popular among a broad public. The book demonstrates that Garibaldi played an integral part in fashioning and promoting himself as a new kind of “charismatic” political hero. It analyzes the way the Garibaldi myth has been harnessed both to legitimize and to challenge national political structures. And it identifies elements of Garibaldi’s political style appropriated by political leaders around the world, including Mussolini and Che Guevara.
