Features: This book is a collection of essays on the history of the Kingdom of Naples by the author, which were originally published in the Critica magazine. It is one of the few significant works on the history of the Kingdom of Naples in the West. The book primarily includes: "The Kingdom" and its internal conflicts; "The Governorate," the lack of national political life; debates and reforms, the restoration of the Kingdom; the revolutionary period and the end of the Kingdom of Naples; final reflections. At the end of this volume, two short monographs on local histories are also included. These small regional histories can be seen as a miniature panorama of the entire history described in the main part of the volume. Its publication holds significant reference value for the study of medieval European history, modern European history, and Southern European history (Italy). The History of the Kingdom of Naples is a classic work worthy of reading and research for understanding the history of Southern Italy, the formation of the Italian nation-state, and Croce's historical perspective.
