M. Seymour specialises in modern Italian history (19th and 20th Centuries), with a
particular interest in the relationships between personal experience, politics,
and modernity. His first book, Debating Divorce in Italy (Palgrave, 2006), analysed the long struggle to introduce a divorce law in Italy, using the question to explore traditional fault-lines in Italian society from new angles. In other publications he has explored foreign perceptions of Italy, the construction of Italian MASCULINITY, feminism in Italy prior to the ‘second wave’, late nineteenth-century love letters, and historiographical 'uses' of Giuseppe Garibaldi. His current research makes microhistorical use of the records of a sensational 1879 murder trial, focusing on the history of emotions. He is on the editorial boards of Modern Italy and the Journal of Modern Italian Studies. Select Publications
