This study sets out to place the remarkable cultural events of the
early Renaissance in a full historical perspective. Dealing with
both literary and visual art, it describes the world of Dante and
Giotto and explains the circumstances in which their innovations
became possible. The political, economical, cultural, and religious
life of Tuscany between 1260 and 1320 is explored, and the
importance of the relationship with the papal court emphasized.
Papal patronage encouraged classical influence on the visual arts;
but the Papacy also played a leading role in the political and
economic life of the 'Guelf League', in which it was linked with
Florence, Siena, Naples, and France. Papal intervention in Florence
in 1301, leading to Dante's exile, and the Papacy's removal to
France in 1305, created new conditions in which the masterpieces of
Dante and Giotto were created. This is the first paperback edition
of Florence, Rome and the Origins of the Renaissance, which was
published in hardback in 1986.
