A gripping portrait of ambition, corruption and catastrophe in Renaissance Italy.
About the Book
In these compelling and meticulously researched histories, E. R. Chamberlin brings vividly to life one of the most turbulent periods in European history — when the power of the Papacy, the rise of ruthless dynasties, and the ambitions of rival princes collided in a struggle that would reshape Italy forever.
From the scandal and excesses of the Renaissance Popes, to the rise of the infamous Borgias, and the devastating Sack of Rome in 1527, these books chart the dramatic collapse of political and moral order at the heart of Renaissance civilisation.
Together, these classic works form a powerful narrative of a world in upheaval — where faith, politics and violence collided at the very centre of Christendom. Essential reading for anyone interested in Renaissance Italy, papal history, and the making of modern Europe.
