Abstract

[France had its political revolution. England had its industrial revolution. Italy had neither. But Italy had history. And from that history repeated attempts were made to articulate a culture-specific pathway to the modern. This happened as a constant negotiation over nationhood, attempting to define the ‘soul’ of the country. But it also happened as a mission with a wider purpose, identifying an Italian platform for a project of modernity resonating beyond its borders. Italian thinkers of political modernity were trying to blaze the trail for others to come, and often they succeeded in formulating ideas of lasting consequence and importance for modern European history.]
