Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers a penetrating and provocative literary exploration of the evolution of the aristocratic classes in 18th-century Italy through the lens of the writings of mostly Tuscan authors such as Francesco Algarotti and Gasparo Gozzi. The author leads the reader on a chronological journey through works that reveal the transition from the old chivalrous ethos to one of passive contentment with the enlightened rule of Hapsburg monarchs. Yet this transformation is viewed as having come at considerable cost, including a decline in the martial and civic virtues that had once defined Italian nobility. The book argues that this loss also catalyzed a significant shift in the relationship between the aristocracy and the wider population, explores the dynamics of class relationships, and culminates with a discussion of the complex relationship between the aristocracy, the growth of print culture, and Enlightenment ideals. The author offers a nuanced and often surprising appraisal of the era, showing how the legacy of the Enlightenment in Italy extended beyond monarchs and philosophers to the very heart of social identity.
