مستخلص: The article "Southern Europe in the Age of Revolutions" by Maurizio Isabella explores the interconnected revolutions in Spain, Portugal, Piedmont, Naples, Sicily, and Greece between 1820 and 1821. Isabella argues that these revolutions were part of a broader global revolutionary wave influenced by the Napoleonic Wars, with common causes and military officer leadership. The book provides a comprehensive comparative treatment of these revolutions, challenging the traditional francocentric view of the revolutionary era and emphasizing the role of constitutions in legitimizing new political orders. Despite some shortcomings in the treatment of the Greek Revolution, Isabella's work is considered a monumental piece of scholarship that offers fresh perspectives on the nineteenth-century historiography of revolutions.
