The Roman Advertiser and the Tuscan Athenaeum were two English-language weeklies published in Italy by British expatriates seeking to defend the cause of modern Italy, both culturally and politically, during the midnineteenth-century revolutionary period. Like most foreign-language periodicals, they partook in the transnational flow of journalistic culture across European borders, but they also contributed to the emergence of a free Italian democratic press after the relaxation of censorship in 1846–47 in the Papal States and the Grand Duchy of Tuscany. It is their position on the edge of two cultural worlds—British and Italian, national and cosmopolitan—that makes them particularly interesting to study. In this essay, I will show how they functioned as major sites of encounter and debate between British expatriates and the cultural and democratic movements in Italy. The editors of these periodicals, I argue, became major mediating agents between their democratic Italian friends and their compatriots. These cross-border periodicals created a transnational public space particularly well suited to the cosmopolitan nationalism that characterized the first phase of the Risorgimento.1

无国界出版：罗马广告商、托斯卡纳雅典娜神庙和跨国自由空间的创造

The Roman Advertiser 和 Tuscan Athenaeum 是两份在意大利出版的英文周刊，由英国侨民在 19 世纪中期革命时期寻求在文化和政治上捍卫现代意大利的事业。像大多数外语期刊一样，它们参与了跨越欧洲边界的新闻文化的跨国流动，但它们也促成了在 1846-47 年教皇国和大公国的审查制度放松后自由意大利民主媒体的出现托斯卡纳。正是他们在两个文化世界——英国和意大利、民族和国际大都会——的边缘的位置，使他们研究起来特别有趣。在这篇论文中，我将展示它们如何作为英国侨民与意大利文化和民主运动相遇和辩论的主要场所。我认为，这些期刊的编辑成为了他们的民主意大利朋友和他们的同胞之间的主要调解人。这些跨界期刊创造了一个跨国公共空间，特别适合作为复兴运动第一阶段特征的世界性民族主义。 1
