About This Book
The volume assembles contemporary reports, memoirs, official relations, and annotations concerning the April 1814 uprising in Milan and the consequent collapse of the Napoleonic Italian kingdom. It juxtaposes firsthand narratives by senators and participants with notes and documentary appendices, and follows the public dispute that followed publication, including police suppression and partisan rebuttals. The editors provide a critical apparatus and an index of notable persons and events to help readers compare conflicting testimony and grasp the political, institutional, and social tensions that shaped the revolt and its immediate aftermath.
