Castruccio Castracani: A Study on the Origins and Character of a Fourteenth-Century Italian Despotism - Hardcover
Synopsis
The first study in English of the 14th-century Italian despot, Castruccio Castracani, this work illuminates one of the great historical developments of his age -- the transformation of the medieval world of the Italian city-states into that of the territorial principalities that were to flourish in the Renaissance. Drawing on a full range of archival and chronicle sources, Green examines the rise of Castracani's regime in Lucca and shows how his dominions grew not only as a response to tensions in the preceding social order, but also as a result of changes in the character of warfare. In so doing, the book casts new light on the origins of the Italian Signorie and sets the exploits of this extraordinary ruler within the wider context of the age of transition in which he lived.

Leinen. Condition: gut. Erste Aufl. Kaschierter blauer Ganzleineneinband mit goldgeprägtem Rückentitel, goldgeprägtem Rückensignet, farbigen Vorsätzen und illustriertem Schutzumschlag. Der Umschlag leicht berieben bzw. mit dezenten Kratzern, partiell leicht randknickig und auf der vorderen Innenklappe mit kleinem Preisschild, der Seitenschnitt mit winzigem Fleckchen, ansonsten guter bis sehr guter Erhaltungszustand. "This is the first study in English of the fourteenth-century despot, Castruccio Castracani, whose meteoric career has attractecl the attention of writers as diverse as Machiavelli and Mary Shelley. It presents him, divested of the legend which has surrounded him, as a ruler whose life illuminates one of the great historical developments of his age - the transformation of the medieval world of the Italian city-states into that of the territorial principalities which were to flourish in the Renaissance. On the basis of a full range of archival as well as chronicle sources, it shows how his regime in Lucca arose and how his dominions grew not only as a response to tensions in the preceding social order, but also as a result of changes in the character of warfare. In so doing, it sheds light on the Origins of the Italian Signorie and sets the exploits of this extraordinary man within the wider context of the age of transition in which he lived. Louis Green is Senior Lecturer in History, Monash University, Australia." (Verlagstext) In englischer Sprache. X, (II), 289, (3) pages. 8° (143 x 221mm). Seller Inventory # BN32802
