Description

This is the first social and cultural study of the principal 'free' professions in Italy between unification and the First World War. It is a major contribution both to our understanding of the history of the bourgeoisie in Italy and to the developing role of professions in modern European society. The first section discusses the formation of modern Italian engineering, notarial occupations, law, and medicine, and the close involvement of members of the professions with the State and the university. The second section makes an important contribution to the study of Italian society of the period. It analyses the interrelation between the professions, the nobility and Parliament, and examines the social status of members of the professions – how they saw themselves, and how they were viewed by others. The collection as a whole offers a fresh review of the modern Italian bourgeoisie. Review "...a thematically unified collection of excellent essays putting the Italian experience into a wider European context." Journal of Interdisciplinary History"...[Malatesta] does a subtle and nuanced job integrating the international theoretical framework with the peculiarities of Italian developments. Her introduction and most of the individual essays indicate a high level of sophistication and a cosmopolitan awareness of comparable research going on elsewhere. The translation of this volume is clear and fluent....Most students of modern European social history, and not just specialists on professions, would benefit from reading this well-researched and carefully argued volume." American Historical Review"Malatesta and her colleagues have produced an excellent, scholarly work in the comparative sociological/historical tradition. It will be of major importance for all those interested in state-profession relationships, in professionalism, and in the specific Italian forms of professional development." American Journal of Sociology"...filled with important details and occasionally offer provocative generalizations.... This is a book that repays the effort of close reading." Rudolph M. Bell, Journal of Social History Book Description The first social and cultural study of the principal 'free' professions in Italy between 1860 and 1914.
