Italy 1530-1630

Eric Cochrane

Italy 1530-1630 - 1 - Oxford Routledge 20140623 - 340 p

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.
