About the Book

This work offers a portrait of Venice from the establishment of the Republic at the end of the 13th century to its fall to Napoleon in 1797. In contrast to earlier efforts to categorize Venice's politics as strictly republican and its society as rigidly tripartite and hierarchical, the scholars in this volume present a more fluid and complex interpretation of Venetian culture. Drawing on a variety of disciplines - history, art history, and musicology - these essays present innovative variants of the myth of Venice - that nearly inexhaustible repertoire of stories Venetians told about themselves.

Review :
A welcome and illuminating book. -- Thomas Kuehn Journal of Interdisciplinary History Succeeds both in reassessing outdated conceptions of life under the Venetian Republic and in proposing new fields of research...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. -- Christopher Carlsmith Sixteenth-Century Journal Provides an excellent survey of the state of current research on the city. -- Jonathan Walker Journal of European Studies Chronological width is matched by thematic wealth... The volume is likely to become a landmark in Venetian historiography. -- Filippo de Vivo The Historical Journal
