This 1995 book is a detailed study of Sicilian life in the reign of
Frederick III (1296-1337), a period which saw Sicily reduced from a
bustling and prosperous Mediterranean emporium to a poor backwater
torn apart by violence. The relative economic and social
backwardness of Sicily within modern Italy has attracted
considerable scholarly attention. Attempts to explain its ingrained
poverty and civil strife usually blame either the legacy of two
thousand years of colonisation by rapacious foreigners or the
inherent weaknesses in the island itself and its people. More
recently a model of 'economic dualism' has pointed to basic
structural flaws in the economic relations that were established
between the island and its continental trading partners from the
twelfth century onwards. This book, by focusing on Frederick III's
crucial reign, argues that there were many more things 'wrong' with
Sicilian life than just the shape of its overseas trade relations.
