English Songs Of Italian Freedom

By George Macaulay Trevelyan

Book Overview

""English Songs of Italian Freedom"" is a collection of English translations of Italian patriotic songs and poems compiled by the British historian George MacAulay Trevelyan. The book includes works by prominent Italian writers and revolutionaries such as Giuseppe Mazzini, Gabriele D'Annunzio, and Francesco Petrarca, as well as lesser-known figures. The songs and poems cover a range of topics related to Italian nationalism, including the struggle for independence from foreign powers, the unification of Italy, and the fight against fascism. Trevelyan provides historical context for each piece and offers his own reflections on the significance of Italian nationalism for the wider European and global political landscape. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Italy, the development of nationalism, and the role of art and culture in political movements.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
