Drawing on a wide range of sources--from periodicals and gazettes to diplomatic correspondence, ecclesiastical documents, and private letters--Vincenzi reveals how observers in Venice, Florence, Rome, and Naples made sense of events across the Atlantic from the 1770s to the 1790s.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eItalian political thinkers at first did not treat the American experience as a revolution in the modern sense--a radical break with the past meant to establish an egalitarian society--but rather as the culmination of a long age of reform. It was the French Revolution, Vincenzi shows, that made the American Revolution appear, only in retrospect, as the beginning of a new age. What had once seemed a circumscribed, reformist movement within the anglophone world came to be understood as an epoch-making event--an invitation to revolution in Europe against the monarchies of the Old Regime.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAnna Vincenzi\u003c\/b\u003e is Assistant Professor of Modern European History at Hillsdale College.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 300\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.67 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 25, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52204300468519,"sku":"9780813955780","price":67.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1002\/2079\/7223\/files\/KHpVUpn-lJ9780813955780.webp?v=1790808715","url":"https:\/\/theluminousbookshop.com\/products\/echoes-of-a-distant-republic-italian-perspectives-on-the-american-and-french-revolutions-paperback","provider":"The Luminous Book Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
