Full Description
A comprehensive introductory survey of the political, social, cultural and economic history of early modern Italy. This text covers all aspects of life during this long, widely neglected period: the family, the Republics, the economy, the plague, philosophy and justice are among the topics which offer a vivid picture of the so-called "forgotten centuries" of Italian history. Compressed into a digestable format, Hanlon's study should provide students with a useful synthesis of this crucial era.
