Venice Reconsidered: The History and Civilization of an Italian City-State, 1297–1797

Chronological width is matched by thematic wealth . . . The volume is likely to become a landmark in Venetian historiography.

Provides an excellent survey of the state of current research on the city.
–Jonathan Walker, Journal of European Studies

Succeeds both in reassessing outdated conceptions of life under the Venetian Republic and in proposing new fields of research . . . This book contributes substantially toward a more comprehensive, complex view of Venice . . . This is an exemplary collection of essays that provides a fresh look at five hundred years of Venetian social and political history.
