Naples in 1799: An Account of the Revolution of 1799 and of the Rise and Fall of the Parthenopean Republic - Couverture souple
Présentation de l'éditeur
English readers a sketch of the men who formed the Neapolitan Republic of 1799, together with sufficient outline of their surroundings, and of the condition of the kingdom of Naples at the close of the eighteenth century, to make their position clear. The writer can lay no claim to original research, and has merely endeavoured to bring within the knowledge of English readers, who have not the means of studying the ample Italian literature of this subject, that side of the drama of 1799 which English literature has been too apt to ignore. This drama has been generally regarded in England as a mere background to an episode in the life of Nelson ;and when it has been handled at all, has often been handled with heat, often with gross unfairness and gross ignorance, or at best presented in chips and fragments which do no justice to the subject, however they may serve to illustrate the argument of the moment an argument which generally assumes Nelson to be the person principally concerned.
