About This Item
New York: The Dial Press, 1974. Book Club Edition. Near Fine Hardcover in a Near Fine Dust Jacket. Near Fine/Near Fine.
Bindings are tight and square. Text clean, light even toning. Moderate shelf handling wear. 8vo; 9 inches tall; 347 pages with notes and index. Book Club Edition. As important as the characters in the foreground is the Italy against which this drama is played out, a place of warring cities and dynastic machinations where high culture and gross cruelty went hand-in-hand.
Above all, there is Rome itself, caught at the moment when the great city was rising from its long, squalid sleep into the glory of the Renaissance dawn.
