One of the leading lights of the Neapolitan Enlightenment, Vincenzo Cuoco (1770–1823) was forced into exile for his involvement in the failed Neapolitan revolution of 1799. Living in Milan, he wrote what became one of the most important accounts of political revolution written in the nineteenth century. Cuoco’s Historical Essay synthesized Machiavelli, Vico, and the Neapolitan Enlightenment in search of an explanation of why revolutions succeed or fail. It was a major influence on political thought during theRisorgimento and an inspiration in the twentieth- century for thinkers as far apart politically as Benedetto Croce on the right and Antonio Gramsci on the left.
With an authoritative introduction to the text and its significance,A Historical Essay on the Neapolitan Revolution of 1799 finally makes this seminal historical and philosophical text accessible to an English-speaking audience.
