edited by Richard Neudecker

Chr. der Schauplatz fast ununterbrochener Auseinandersetzungen zwischen indigener Bevölkerung, griechischstämmigen Siedlern, punischen Kolonisatoren und römischen Eroberern. Ihre Städte und Siedlungen bieten deshalb ein hohes Potenzial, wenn die kulturellen und ökonomischen Auswirkungen solcher politischer und militärischer Krisen erforscht werden sollen.

Renaissance Florence in the Rhetoric of Two Popular Preachers (BMEMS 4)
by N.B.-A. Debby
The preaching of the Dominican friar Girolamo Savonarola and the period of his dominance (1494-1498) are a well-known chapter in the history of Renaissance Florence. However, comparatively less research has been done on Savonarola's predecessors, the mendicant preachers of Florence in the first half of the fifteenth century. The Dominican Giovanni Dominici (1356-1419) and the Franciscan Bernardino da Siena (1380-1444) were the most important of ...

The twelve essays collected here are written against this backdrop, and address issues in biographical and autobiographical writing in Italy from the later nineteenth century to the present, with a particular emphasis on the interplay between individual lives and life-writing and the ...

The Politics of Exclusion in Early Renaissance Florence
by F. Ricciardelli

Medicean and Savonarolan Florence: The Interplay of Politics, Humanism, and Religion
by A. Brown
This volume examines Florentine society at crucial moments of change that are often treated separately in historical narratives: the later years of Medici government under the aegis of Lorenzo the Magnificent, the four tumultuous years of Savonarola's religious regime from 1494 to 1498, and the unsettled early decades of the sixteenth century. Drawing upon original research conducted during the past decade, it provides important insights into the ...

The Printed Media in Fin-de-siècle Italy: Publishers, Writers, and Readers
edited by Ann Hallamore Caesar, Gabriella Romani, and Jennifer Burns
The Unification of Italy in 1870 heralded a period of unprecedented change. While successive Liberal governments pursued imperial ventures and took Italy into World War One on the Allied side, on the domestic front technological advance, the creation of a national transport network, the expansion of state education, internal migration to cities and the rise of political associations all contributed to the rapid expansion of the print industry and ...
