In this groundbreaking study, Maurizio Isabella examines the historical moment in the 1820s when a series of simultaneous uprisings took the quest for constitutional government to Portugal, Spain, the Italian peninsula, Sicily, and Greece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIsabella places these events in a broader global revolutionary context. Decentering conventional narratives of the origins of political modernity, he reveals the existence of an original popular constitutional culture in southern Europe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIsabella looks at the role played by secret societies, elections, petitions, and protests, as well as the experience of war and the circulation of information and individuals across seas and borders in politicising new sectors of society. By studying the mobilisation of the army, the clergy, artisans, rural communities, and urban populations in favour of or against the revolutions, he shows that the uprisings in the South—although their ultimate fate was determined by the intervention of more powerful foreign countries—enjoyed considerable popular support in ideologically divided societies and led to the introduction of constitutions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIsabella argues that these movements informed the political life of Portugal and Spain for many decades and helped to forge a long-lasting revolutionary tradition in the Italian peninsula. The liberalism that emerged as a popular political force across southern Europe, he contends, was distinct from French and British varieties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"NewSouth Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46849966309612,"sku":"9780691181707","price":79.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/1804213482434.jpg?v=1759068927"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/maurizio-isabella.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
