The 11th to the early 14th centuries saw a great transformation in
the political, cultural and economic life of the Italian peninsula,
marked by the rise of the autonomous city-states in the north and
centre, the expansion of international trade, and the creation of a
wealthy southern kingdom which reached the peak of its power in
this period, before fragmenting in two in the late 13th century. It
was also the period in which the various dialects that we now call
the Italian language came into being, and in which Tuscan in
particular became the vehicle for impressive literary innovation.
Presenting a rounded view of Italy at a time when it was the most
dynamic region in western Europe, this book looks at Italy in its
entirety, rather than concentrating largely on the north, as
previous studies have done. It also includes expert coverage of
topics such as the family and the Jewish, Greek and Muslim minority
communities, in addition to its coverage of developments in the
cities, rural life, trade, the monarchy, papal Italy, religious
life, and language and culture.
