Under the volcano : revolution in a Sicilian town /Lucy Riall. "1: Original analysis of a key episode in modern Italian history: the revolt at Bronte and the expedition of the Thousand; 2: Offers a fascinating account of Nelson's legacy and of the experience of British life overseas in the Age of Empire; 3: Based on new and hitherto unused archival material; 4: Takes in the long-term origins and consequences of the famous revolt, as well as considering the problem of memory and the struggles over memory in Italy today; 5: Provides a detailed, sometimes intimate account of great historical events seen from a Sicilian town through individual letters and other first-hand accounts. During the momentous events that shook Italy in 1860 as the nation was unified, there was a murderous riot in the Sicilian town of Bronte on the slopes of Mount Etna. Thereafter, Bronte became a symbol - of the limits of the liberal Risorgimento and of the persistence of foreign domination: descendants of Admiral Horatio Nelson had the largest landholding in the town and the British were said to have put pressure on Garibaldi to crush the uprising, which his lieutenant did with brutality. Lucy Riall has used the discovery of a new archive to transform brilliantly this episode into an ambitious exploration of much larger themes. Relaying an often brutal tale of poverty, injustice, and mismanagement, her powerful and engaging narrative also opens windows onto the true meaning of the British presence. Bronte's story becomes one that is also about Britain's policy towards Italy and Europe in the nineteenth century, and about colonial rule overseas in the age of Empire. It shows what happened when these two different aspects of British power bumped into each other in one Sicilian town."--Provided by the publisher. 2013 • BOOK • 1 copy available. 327(42:45)"18"

James Gillray : a revolution in satire /Tim Clayton. "James Gillray (1756-1815) was late Georgian Britain's funniest, most inventive, and most celebrated graphic satirist and continues to influence cartoonists today. His exceptional drawing, matched by his flair for clever dialogue and amusing titles, won him unprecedented fame; his sophisticated designs often parodied artists such as William Hogarth, Joshua Reynolds, and Henry Fuseli, while he borrowed and wittily redeployed celebrated passages from William Shakespeare and John Milton to send up politicians in an age - as now - where society was fast changing, anxieties abounded, truth was sometimes scarce, and public opinion mattered. Tim Clayton's definitive biography explores Gillray's life and work through his friends, publishers - the most important being women - and collaborators, aiming to identify those involved in inventing satirical prints and the people who bought them. Clayton thoughtfully explores the tensions between artistic independence, financial necessity, and the conflicting demands of patrons and self-appointed censors in a time of political and social turmoil."--Provided by the publisher. 2022. • FOLIO • 1 copy available. 741.5/942
