Beskrivning
When he suddenly came to power in Italy in 1537, the young Duke Cosimo I de' Medici amazed friends and foes alike with his ability to extricate himself from mortal danger, affirm his authority and revive a dying state. He doubled the size of his duchy and established a dynasty that ruled unchallenged for 200 years. This volume is the first book-length study in any language to approach the figure of Duke Cosimo I from the point of view of his cultural agenda. The contributors examine the political, economic, cultural and linguistic strategies that made Cosimo a successful leader, and in the process illuminate the cultural world of mid-sixteenth-century Tuscany.

Recensioner i media

'This important collection of fifteen essays[...]is essential reading for anyone who is interested in the history of Florence or sixteenth-century culture.' Renaissance Journal 'The Cosimo that emerges from these pages is canny, focused and little short of brilliant in his ability to see the parts and the whole, and manipulate the parts to create the whole.' Renaissance Quarterly 'It is surprising that Duke Cosimo's cultural politics have received so little attention from English-speaking scholars of late Renaissance/Early Modern Italy and this book is all the more welcome because it fills succinctly such an important gap... Such a fine collection of articles should be a stimulus to further research...' Parergon 'These articles, together with Konrad Eisenbichler's excellent introduction, provide a much needed addition [...] and offer an example fo the complexity and diversity of current studies of the relationships between politics and culture.' Canadian Journal of History '... excellent and innovative...' Italian Studies
