Description
This book covers what is, for many English-speaking readers, one of the most obscure periods of Italian history. The common impression is of political absolutism, rural re-feudalization, economic crisis, religious repression and cultural decline. The author sets about correcting this inaccurate impression and bringing the period to life. Written primarily for history students, the author discusses the major achievements of the era and argues that many developments came as a result of the High Renaissance, rather than as a rejection of its ideals.
Table of Contents
- Prologue - the sack of Rome
- monuments of the High Renaissance
- a new political order
- institutions of culture
- mannerism
- Tridentine reform
- consolidation
- destabilization.

Description
This book covers one of the more obscure periods of Italian history. What we know of it is presented almost always pejoratively: an unrelieved tale of political absolution, rural refeudalisation, economic crisis, religious repression and cultural decline. But this picture is both incomplete and inaccurate, and in this important new survey Eric Cochrane has at last given the period its due.
