Christopher Duggan
Professor of Italian History
Christopher Duggan has written and researched extensively on many aspects of
modern Italian history, and his books include. A History of Sicily,
with M. I. Finley and D. Mack Smith (Chatto and Windus, 1986), Fascism
and the mafia (Yale University Press, 1989), A concise history of Italy
(Cambridge University Press, 1994) and Francesco Crispi. 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.
