Abstract

Michael Huggins For many years, since the pioneering work of such historians as Kevin Nowlan, it was assumed that the nationalist movement of Giuseppe Mazzini known as "Young Italy" had a direct and potent impact upon the romantic nationalist movement that emerged in the 1840s around the Young Ireland movement and its mouthpiece, the Nation newspaper. In 1960, Nowlan, Robert Dudley Edwards, and Thomas Desmond Williams published a series of lectures under the title Ireland and the Italian Risorgimento. In the introduction, Edwards stated bluntly that the Irish movement "had been strongly influenced by the ideas of Mazzini and their gospel of Irish Nationalism was largely based on his theories."1 While positing a more qualified relationship between Mazzinian ideas and Young Ireland in the 1840s, Nowlan nevertheless averred that "the Young Irelanders in their newspaper, the Nation, came close enough to Mazzini's position."2 In a 1973 article on the relationship between Irish and European romantic nationalism, Giovanni Costigan made a similar point, noting that Mazzini sometimes wrote of Italy in "language almost identical with that of the Nation." Costigan listed some of the characteristics of romantic or Mazzinian nationalism: the development of a "powerful mystique of the nation";
