One of the main tasks of the unified Italian state was to shape an unified nation. To become a nation, especially during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, was a necessary step in the process of creating a modern society, and Italy also entered the modern world by becoming a national state. Literature played an important role. Lacking political unity, Italian nationality had to be based on a common literary tradition. Many intellectuals and writers became involved in this complex and multifaceted process. The book explores, in particular, the way in which nation was interpreted and inhabited by them, and how their interest in foreign literatures affected their vision.
