    A CONCISE NON- HISTORY of FICTION UNABRIDGED CHRISTOPHER DUGGAN ITALY Read by Jonathan Keeble Since its formation in 1861, Italy has struggled to develop an effective political system and a secure sense of national identity. Christopher Duggan’s acclaimed introduction charts the country’s history from the fall of the Roman Empire in the West to the present day, and surveys the difficulties Italy has faced during the last two centuries in creating a unified country. Duggan successfully weaves together political, economic, social and cultural history, and stresses the alternation between materialist and idealist programmes for forging a nation state. The audiobook includes coverage of 19th- and 20th-century Italy, as well as a section devoted to Italy in the 21st century. This is the ideal resource for those seeking an authoritative and comprehensive introduction to Italian history. Jonathan Keeble is an award-winning actor who combines his audio work with a busy theatre and TV career.

  • OBITUARY Christopher Duggan 1957-2015
    Modern Italy, 2016 Vol. 21, No. 1, 3–6, doi:10.1017/mit.2016.2 OBITUARY Christopher Duggan 1957-2015 At the time of his death on 2 November 2015, Christopher Duggan had been Chair of the Association for the Study of Modern Italy (ASMI) for barely one year. In this short time, he engaged in a variety of initiatives, establishing new links with other British and Italian scholarly associations and organising a symposium with colleagues in France. He also organised a conference in Oxford on Italy and the First World War. His tragic loss has been deeply felt by his many students, his colleagues and his friends. Those who had the task of communicating the sad news to the academic world received messages of sympathy which testify to the affection and the esteem with which he was regarded. Many young researchers fondly recalled his generosity in giving them his time and support, often corresponding with them long after meeting them at a conference or summer school and writing references for travel grants and scholarships. One remembered ‘this gentle scholar who, with his simple smile, immediately put me at ease, took time to talk with me about the Risorgimento and invited me to his home.’ Another wrote: ‘To me, he was both a brilliant sounding board for my work and a wonderful human being who went out of his way to encourage a young researcher who was trying to make his way’. His fellow Italianists admired his scholarship and his kindness. A founder member of ASMI, Paul Furlong, remembered Christopher as ‘a gentle, courteous and thoughtful colleague, a rigorous scholar who was devoted to his subject, and a person without “side”, to use an old-fashioned phrase’.

It is important to recognize that Italian unification resulted from divergent forces and that the celebrated heroes of the Risorgimento — Giuseppe Garibaldi, Camillo Cavour, and Giuseppe Mazzini — fought for unique reasons and held contrasting visions of Italian unity.

  • Cultures and Contexts: Modern Italy NYU Core Curriculum, Fall 2013 Prof
    Cultures and Contexts: Modern Italy NYU Core Curriculum, Fall 2013 Prof. Merjian, Tues/Thurs 11-12:15 This course examines the culture of modern Italy: a nation younger than the United States, yet steeped in all manner of millennial traditions, linguistic dialects, and regional artistic and economic customs. “We have made Italy; we must now make Italians.” Thus declared the politician and writer Massimo d’Azeglio following the country’s belated unification in 1861. How has Italy attempted to “make Italians” over the last century? What forms of culture could unify a people so diverse in origins and aspirations? Has the country managed to transform itself from a “geographic idea” to a cultural reality? Aside from commonplaces – rolling hills, historical landmarks, beloved cuisine, fashion runways – what are the bel paese’s most salient cultural characteristics, and why do they matter? The course proceeds chronologically, and thus provides a basic overview of modern Italy’s historical and cultural trajectory: the optimism and disillusionment of the Giolitti period following national unification; the heady trial-by-fire of World War One and Futurist interventions; the revolutionary flowerings of Fascism and its hardening into an increasingly repressive regime; tensions between Fascist radicalism and reaction, autarchy and imperialism; the values of the Resistance and the realist aesthetic that formed their chief vehicle; the afterlife of Gramscian cultural theory; the cultural politics of the Cold War and the Economic Miracle; the lure of consumerism and Italy’s embattled anthropological “others”; the countercultural currents of the “long 1968” movements; the Years of Lead and dueling terrorisms; the Second Republic and Berlusconi’s Videocracy; the prospect of a multicultural Italy.

    DENIS MACK SMITH Denis Mack Smith 3 March 1920 – 11 July 2017 elected Fellow of the British Academy 1976 by JOHN A. DAVIS Denis Mack Smith (1920–2017) was the best-known non-Italian historian of modern Italy of his generation. A fellow of Peterhouse, Cambridge, since 1948, his first book, Cavour and Garibaldi: a Study in Political Conflict(1954), traced the origins of fascism to the short comings of Italian Unification and launched Mack Smith’s career.Italy: a Modern History (1959) quickly became the standard English-language text on mod- ern Italy, leading to his becoming a best-selling author and a major cultural figure. In 1961 he was elected to a Senior Research Fellowship at All Souls College, Oxford, the position he held until he retired, and in 1976 was elected to a Fellowship of the British Academy. In the same year his study of Mussolini’s foreign policy was published, fol- lowed in 1981 by a biography of the fascist leader. Author of a History of Sicily (with M. I. Finley and C. J. Duggan), an anthology of texts (The Making of Italy 1796– 1870) and numerous essays and articles, Mack Smith also wrote highly acclaimed biographies of Cavour and Giuseppe Mazzini and a history of the Italian monarchy. Modern Italy: a Political History (Yale 1997) rounded off his publishing career by bringing his earlier history up to date.
