Summary "Builders of United Italy" by Rupert Sargent Holland is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the significant figures and movements that contributed to the unification of Italy, highlighting various leaders, poets, philosophers, and statesmen who played crucial roles during a time of political upheaval and national aspiration. Through its examination of these key personalities and their influence, the work aims to provide insight into the development of Italian identity and unity. The opening of the work introduces readers to the complex history of Italy, detailing the challenges faced by the scattered Italian states in their quest for unity. It emphasizes the contributions of pivotal figures like Vittorio Alfieri, whose poetic voice awakened a forgotten sense of national pride among Italians, and sets the stage for further exploration of others such as Manzoni, Mazzini, and Garibaldi. Through the narrative, Holland illustrates the interplay of art, philosophy, and politics in shaping a collective consciousness that ultimately influenced the journey toward a united Italy.
