During those turbulent years, governments rose and fell with dizzying regularity. Some changes of regime were peaceful; others were more violent. But whenever a new reggimento took power, old social tensions were laid bare and new challenges emerged - any of which could easily threaten its survival. This provoked a variety of responses, both from newly established regimes and from their opponents. Constitutional reforms were proposed and enacted; civic rituals were developed; works of art were commissioned; literary works were penned; and occasionally, aspects of material culture were pressed into service, as well. Comparative in approach and broad in scope, it offers a provocative new view of the diverse political, culture, and economic factors, which ensured the survival (or demise) of regimes - not only in \"major\" polities like Florence, Rome, and Venice, but also in less-well-studied regions like Savoy.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book will appeal to researchers and students alike interested in cultural, political, and military history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alexander Lee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1032057556\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032057552\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/30\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 274\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.27lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.69d","brand":"Alexander Lee","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44070899777791,"sku":"9781032057552","price":170.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5aa1a779-5dd9-48a7-8d85-c3c231fb59e4.jpg?v=1685432983","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-culture-and-politics-of-alexander-lee-9781032057552","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
