ReviewsBrucker has been able to tell us more about his subject than anyone else in so short a space, and he has done so with intelligence and verve. . . . Indeed, there is no other book about Florence in the period which combines such a broad range of archival sources--family records, economic records, records of church and state--with the standard literary sources in such an original and effective way. . . . But of all things about the book, I liked best his use of the pointed, personal example--product of his labor in the archives. His stories about Florentines, from slave girl to priest to patrician, truly bring them and their city to life.

SynopsisIn the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, the city of Florence experienced the most creative period in her entire history. This book is an in-depth analysis of that dynamic community, focusing primarily on the years 1380-1450 in an examination of the city's physical character, its economic and social structure and developments, its political and religious life, and its cultural achievement. For this edition, Mr. Brucker has added Notes on Florentine Scholarship and a Bibliographical Supplement.
