Publisher Synopsis
Review of the hardback: 'Rebellious mountain peasants as founders of Medici Florence? That is the contention of this remarkable piece of 'history from below', which is also a major contribution to the debate on state formation and the future of social history.' E. J. Hobsbawm, Emeritus, University of London Review of the hardback: 'This original and exciting book opens new questions and will give rise to valuable scholarship. Based on solid archival research, it approaches the Florentine state in an original and effective way and deals imaginatively with an important subject.' William M. Bowsky, University of California, Davis Review of the hardback: 'By challenging so many themes in the current orthodoxy, Professor Cohn's book invites a fundamental reconsideration of the historiography on the evolution of the Florentine 'Renaissance' ... a significant contribution to the literature of Florentine (and Italian) state-building in the late medieval and Renaissance era.' Professor Gene Brucker, University of California, Berkeley Read more...
