From nation to nationalism (Oxford University Press, 2002). These have all been translated into Italian. He is currently working on a major new history of Italy, commissioned by Penguin, which aims to explore how ideas of the Italian nation developed from the time of the French Revolution and how the country’s leaders attempted to convert these ideas into political reality in the course of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. He has supervised doctorates on a broad range of topics relating to the political, social and cultural history of modern Italy.
