In the eyes of the English Romantics, Italy was not a nation but 'Italia', a place inhabited by the ancient. Their was a view shaped by the Grand Tour, which elevated ancient Roman culture to an artistic and historical ideal. In this vivid history of their love affair with Italy, Roderick Cavaliero presents a readable and strongly-etched cultural history. Through the eyes of Romantic travellers and poets such as Byron, Keats and Shelley, we see a fascinating picture of pre-unification Italy, struggling to recover after Napoleon and edging towards the Risorgimento.

Roderick Cavaliero is a writer and historian, author of Admiral Satan: The Life and Campaigns of the Bailli de Suffren and Strangers in the Land: The Rise and Decline of the British Indian Empire (both I.B. Tauris).
