"From 1815 to 1823 the Italian influence on English literature was at its zenith.
While English tourists flocked to Italy, a pervasive Italianism coloured many facets
of London life, including poetry, periodicals, translation, and even the Queen's trial
of 1820. In this engaging study Will Bowers analyses this radical interaction by pursuing
two interrelated objectives. The first examines the Italian literary and political
ideas absorbed by Romantic poets, particularly Lord Byron, Leigh Hunt, and Percy Bysshe
Shelley. The second reveals the ambassadorial role played in London by Italians, such
as Serafino Buonaiuti and Ugo Foscolo, who promoted a revolutionary idea of their
homeland and its literature, particularly Dante's Commedia. This dual-perspective
study reveals the unified cosmopolitan challenge to Regency mores embodied in the
English literary engagement with Italian ideas and the work of Italian exiles in London"
