Synopsis
This book examines the complex relationship between literature and politics in the Italian city-state of Florence during a period of great upheaval, from the mid-1300s through the mid-1400s. Through the analysis of works by writers both obscure and famous, including Dante, Petrarch, and Boccaccio, the book uncovers a lively struggle playing out on literary battlefields, where the old certainties of the medieval world were challenged, and a new, humanist approach to life and government was emerging. From the halls of the Church to the raucous streets of Florentine life, the author reveals how political divisions translated into literary rivalries, driving debates that would profoundly shape the future of both the city-state and of Italian literature.
