Niccolò Tommaseo – GR
NICCOLÒ TOMMASEO
THE SECOND EXILE
Niccolò Tommaseo’s writings concerning the things of Italy and Europe from 1849 onwards
Volumes 1-2-3
A selection of letters and texts written during his Corfiota stay
Introduction by R. Nicolì
This digital edition produced for the POLYSEMI Library proposes a significant sampling – albeit arbitrary to some extent – of the letters sent by Niccolò Tommaseo[1] during the time spent in Corfu, where he moved in August 1849 after the fall of the Venetian Republic of which he had been one of the most ardent defenders. On the island the writer remained until May 1854. This is his “second exile”[2], as he entitled the three volumes of the memoirs of those years entrusted in 1862 to the Milanese publisher Francesco Sanvito. From that edition the parts presented here have been selected and transcribed. Περισσότερα “Niccolò Tommaseo – GR”
