This book focuses on one of the prime movers in the unification of Lunigiana – a region which at the time was still broken up into a myriad of tiny feudal holdings, almost all in the hands of the various branches of the Malaspina family. The process of unification began in the fifteenth century, when various areas of the region were conquered by Milan and Florence, which also divided between them the hegemony of the remaining independent territories, while Genoa too displayed an interest in expansion in the region. As a result it became crucial for the local lords to manoeuvre between the various forces at play to maintain the independence of their own little states. Among the figures who displayed the greatest dexterity in this was Gabriele Malaspina, who became a leading player on the stage of local history. The book starts by illustrating the period in which Malaspina succeeded in obtaining his political independence, and then goes on to analyse the phase in which his policy came to be characterised by an absolute loyalty to Florence. Finally the book addresses the last part of the Marquis's life, marked by a progressive distancing from the Florentine alliance in favour of other entities, in which he nevertheless always succeeded in maintaining his independence. Al centro di questo volume è uno degli attori principali nel processo di riunificazione della Lunigiana – regione allora suddivisa in tante piccole signorie, quasi tutte nelle mani dei vari rami della famiglia Malaspina – che avvenne nel XV secolo, quando Milano e Firenze vi conquistarono diversi territori e si spartirono l'egemonia sui restanti territori autonomi, mentre anche Genova si mostrò interessata all'espansione in quella zona. Per i signori locali divenne quindi fondamentale riuscire a destreggiarsi fra le varie forze in gioco per mantenere l'indipendenza del proprio piccolo stato, e fra i personaggi che più risaltano per questa loro abilità e per il ruolo giocato nella storia locale spicca Gabriele Malaspina. Il libro inizia mostrando la situazione della Lunigiana al momento in cui il Malaspina ottenne la propria indipendenza politica, per poi analizzare il periodo in cui la politica marchionale si caratterizzò per la sua assoluta fedeltà all'amicizia fiorentina, e quindi la parte finale della vita del marchese, in cui si assiste a un progressivo allontanamento dall'alleanza fiorentina in favore di altri soggetti, ma in cui riuscì sempre a mantenere la sua indipendenza.

Associant la connaissance subjective de son département d’origine à la connaissance objective de l’enseignant-chercheur universitaire, l’auteur nous fait découvrir avec bonheur le cheminement de la députation ligérienne durant la période que dessine formellement la IIIe République. Il s’attache particulièrement à caractériser, souvent à l’aide d’esquisses biographiques, les représentations qui sont celles de la noblesse « restitutionniste ». Entendons par là : un groupe dominant dans la sphère politique de la ruralité catholique nantaise, qui ne vise pas seulement à restaurer l’institution monarchique, mais plus généralement et de plus en plus intensément, à faire partager ses propres valeurs. Le présent ouvrage, scientifique et néanmoins fort lisible, devrait contri­buer à la clarification, à la « compréhension » du destin de l’ordre social nobiliaire auquel s’est aujourd’hui substitué celui de la classe notabiliaire. C’est une manière originale d’avancer dans le questionnement de ce qui n’est souvent qu’une pré-notion : la modernisation. L’auteur continue d’explorer cette problématique selon laquelle la noblesse, trop vite réduite à son caractère réactionnaire, peut encore actuellement, sur de nombreux points, contrebalancer la perte d’un pouvoir socio-politique très repérable par une influence socio-culturelle moins aisément observable.

"Noble conceptions of politics in eighteenth-century Sweden (ca 1740-1790) is a study of how the Swedish nobility articulated its political ideals, self-images and loyalties during the Age of Liberty and under the rule of Gustav III. This book takes a close look at the aristocracy's understanding of a free constitution and at the nobility's complex relationship with the monarchy. Central themes are the old notion of mixed government, classical republican conceptions of liberty and patriotism, as well as noble thoughts on the rights and duties of the citizen, including the right to rebellion against an unrighteous ruler. The study is a conceptual analysis of public and private political statements made by members of the nobility, such as Diet speeches and personal correspondence. The book contributes to the large body of research on estate-based identities and the transformation of political language in the second half of the eighteenth century by connecting Swedish political ideals and concepts to their European context."
