Author Eric Cochrane examines the culture of the Age of Enlightenment in Tuscany—where the Renaissance once shone brilliantly. This period (1690-1800) between the Renaissance and the Risorgimento in Italy is often thought to be culturally vacant, yet the author describes a small world with big ideas, in which hundreds of scholars, landowners, priests and politicians worked together to bring the new concepts of science, art and social justice to their fellow citizens. (You know, like San Francisco in the late ‘60s). Based on newly discovered records of some thirty-five academies founded in Florence and other Tuscan cities, from the late seventeenth century to outbreak of the French Revolution. Tradition and Enlightenment in the Tuscan Academies 1690-1800 by Eric W. Cochrane. Published 1961 by The University of Chicago Press (first edition). Sharp example with no faults in a jacket with mild chipping to head of spine and a couple of tiny tears. 6.75 x 9.75. 268 pp.
