Description
Book SynopsisTrade Review"Winner of the Fondazione Roma Sapienza Book Prize"
"Longlisted for the Runciman Award, Anglo-Hellenic League"
"[A] transformational account."
---Abigail Green, London Review of Books"Isabella’s book resists sub-disciplinary pigeonholing. At a push, it might be described as a peculiarly richly-textured combination of social, political, intellectual, institutional and cultural history. It adds up to a genuinely new history of revolutionary cultures in post-Napoleonic Europe, and it is, in a word, brilliant."
---Alex Middleton, The Critic"[A] pathbreaking book."
---Andrew Moravcsik, Foreign Affairs"[A] very considerable achievement."
---Roger Price, Intelligence and National Security"An impressive book. . . . Exemplary of how revolutions and revolutionary culture should be studied. . . .[The] book will no doubt become a standard work for future research on the age of (counter)revolution."
---Matthijs Lok, Austrian History Yearbook"An ambitious, highly analytical study of revolutionary movements in Southern Europe during the early 19th century." * Choice Reviews *
"With magisterial fairness, Isabella assesses the ultimate failure and legacy of these revolutions, showing how they were a vital checkpoint on the road to defining representative government and our democratic practices."
