by Truglio, Maria
No customer reviews yet ISBN 9780367346386

This book examines how children's books forged a unified national identity for the new Italian State. Chapters on the heroic figure of Garibaldi, the Orientalized depiction of the South, and the role of girls in formation narratives show how melancholic itineraries produced gendered national subjects.
