The Culture and Politics of Regime Change in Italy, c.1494-c.1559 (Routledge Research in Early Modern History): 9781032057552: Lee, Alexander, Maxson, Brian Jeffrey

This comprehensive volume offers a groundbreaking survey of regime change in Italy during the tumultuous period of c.1494-c.1559, challenging the notion that this phenomenon is a modern phenomenon.

Through a comparative and broad approach, the book uncovers the diverse political, cultural, and economic factors that ensured the survival (or demise) of regimes in major polities like Florence, Rome, and Venice, as well as less-well-studied regions like Savoy.

With provocative new insights into the complex social tensions and challenges that emerged during this period, this book will appeal to researchers and students alike interested in cultural, political, and military history.
