Elsewhere this week we have Kay Adamson’s in-depth review Walls of Algiers. Narratives of the City Through Text and Image, which covers the history of Algiers under French occupation.

Next up is a piece dealing with a book on the evolution of British unionism, the less-studied counterpart to Irish nationalism. The Making of British Unionism, 1740-1848: Politics, Government and the Anglo-Irish Constitutional Relationship.

Finally we move to the cultural world of 18th-century Italy with the edited volume Italy’s Eighteenth Century: Gender and Culture in the Age of the Grand Tour, reviewed here by Melissa Calaresu.
