In 1537 Francesco Guicciardini, adviser and confidant to three
popes, governor of several central Italian states, ambassador,
administrator, military captain--and persona non grata with the
ruling Medici after the siege of Florence--retired to his villa to
write a history of his times. His Storia d'Italia became the
classic history of Italy--both a brilliant portrayal of the
Renaissance and a penetrating vision into the tragedy and comedy of
human history in general. Sidney Alexander's readable translation
and abridgment of Guicciardini's four-volume work earned the
prestigious 1970 P.E.N. Club translation award. His perceptive
introduction and notes add much to the understanding of
Guicciardini's masterpiece.
