... but still a good read. The scenes set in Florence are interesting and the hero/heroine start out well, though she fails the hold our interest. For a similar situation examining the effects of unequal marriages on both men and women read Eliot's Middlemarch instead, which really is her masterpiece.

This book will serve students of modern Italy very well. Its judgements are reliable, and it has useful diagrams summarising key arguments. Perhaps it could have found room to say a bit more about the interaction between the monarchs and political leaders of the period (rarely positive for the national interest), the enduring disaffection in the south, and Mussolini's increasing lack of grip over events in the later years of his rule.

has a non biased view and an excellent amount of information in here with many activities for a-level students however if there was to be a 2nd addition there would need to be some colour and some breaks in the paragraphs because much of chris's excellent views and information aren't poitned out so clearly

209.From Flanders to Florence: The Impact of Netherlandish Painting, 1400-1500 by: P Nuttall August 13, 2004

It is such a pleasure to read a book that finally points out that the Florentine painters were not the leaders-of-the-painting-world they have mistakenly believed to be, since Vasari's Florentine-propaganda book, The Lives of the Artists. The quattrocento Florentines themselves were the first to say that they were trying, unsuccessfully, to emulate the Flemish painters: compare Masaccio and van Eyck; the paintings are virtually contemporary. The book is beautifully made and very well written. I recommend it highly.

210.Force of Destiny: A History of Italy Since 1796 (Allen Lane History) by: Christopher Duggan August 30, 2007

This is a highly engaging book. Although the attempt to re-create an Italian national identity over the last 200 years may have led mostly to diappointment and nearly to total failure after the Fascist deviation, Professor Duggan does allow that today's inhabitants are more 'Italian' than they were, however uncertain and contested the idea of 'Italy' remains.
