Culture and Power
Tuscany and its Universities 1537-1609
Series:
Author:
Traditionally grand ducal Tuscany and its cultural politics have been viewed through the lens of absolutism. Based on a wide range of newly found sources and building on recent revisionist scholarship, this study uses the universities of Pisa and Siena to expose the contradictions and the tensions which characterised the grand duchy. Setting the universities against the diplomatic, military, administrative, economic, ecclesiastical, and cultural development of the grand duchy, it shows how innovation mixed with tradition and local privileges were not only upheld but extended significantly.
Jonathan Davies, Ph.D. (1993) in History, University of Liverpool, is Associate Professor/Senior Lecturer of Italian Renaissance History at the University of Warwick. His publications include Florence and its University during the Early Renaissance (Brill, 1998).
