Novelist, poet, Anglican priest, and controversialist, Charles Kingsley (1819–75) epitomizes the bustling Victorian man of faith and letters, a prolific polymath as ready to break a lance with John Henry Newman over Christian doctrine as he was to preach to schoolchildren on the virtues of manly, physical struggle. Kingsley’s The Water-Babies and Westward Ho! were best-sellers which became classics of children’s literature. Kingsley has come to epitomize the Victorian age.On closer inspection, Kingsley is harder to categorize: a socialist who was also an imperialist, a Chartist revolutionary who was Queen Victoria’s favourite novelist, a natural theologian who popularized Darwin, a priest who celebrated sex as sacrament. Kingsley only appears straightforward if you consider him one piece at a time. The debates he shaped remain with us today: faith and sexuality, economics and exploitation, race and identity. The aim of this book is to present the whole man: to consider the public crusades for public health alongside the most private fantasies of sexual intercourse; to consider the ardent imperialist alongside the Darwinist. It will be of interest to all students of Victorian studies, as well as of British/Imperial history, church history, and especially the history of science.

Garibaldi e i movimenti democratici internazionali raccoglie gli atti di un convegno che ha avuto come obiettivo lo studio dell’influenza delle idee e dell’azione garibaldina sullo sviluppo dei movimenti di indipendenza nei vari continenti. Il volume si suddivide in tre sezioni principali. La prima, più propriamente storica, riguarda la visione internazionale della democrazia nell’Ottocento; la seconda si concentra sulla costruzione dialettica della figura di Garibaldi fra mito e realtà; la terza mette in evidenza la proiezione simbolica dell’eroe attraverso la mediazione letteraria, giornalistica e cinematografica. I saggi qui raccolti si rivolgono a un pubblico non solo di specialisti di storia risorgimentale, ma a tutti coloro che si interessano di rapporti interculturali visti da una prospettiva interdisciplinare.
