NAPLES AND NAPOLEON
Naples and Napoleon rewrites the history of Italy in the age of the European revolutions from the perspective of the South.
In contrast to later images of southern backwardness and immobility, John A. Davis portrays the South as a precocious theatre for political and economic upheavals that sooner or later would challenge the survival of all the pre-Unification states.
Focusing on the years of French rule from 1806 to 1815, when southern Italy became the arena for one of the most ambitious reform projects in Napoleonic Europe.
