| Abstract: | Following the Sicilian revolution of 1848, many Italian intellectuals and political figures found refuge in Malta where they made use of the Freedom of the Press to divulge their message of unification to the mainland. Britain harboured hopes of seizing Sicily to counterbalance French expansion in the Mediterranean and tended to support the legitimate authority rather than separatist ideals. Maltese newspapers reflected these opposing ideas. By mid-1849 the revolution was dead. |
