William Heywood (1857 1919) experiencd a variety of jobs, including
working as a lawyer, a cowboy and a newspaper editor, before
retiring to Siena in Italy in 1894 and becoming a specialist in
medieval Italian history. His unorthodox background is shown in his
holistic interpretation of the growth of Pisa in the eleventh and
twelfth centuries, in contrast to the treatment of historical
material by contemporary historians. Heywood examines the politics,
society and religion of Pisa to chart the growth of the city from a
small port at the end of the Roman period to a powerful city-state
by the end of the twelfth century. He is also the first historian
to recognise the importance of maritime power struggles between
other city-states as an integral part of Pisa's rise to power. This
volume provides a valuable addition to the study of the
historiography of medieval Italy.
