This book, first published in 2000, provides a systematic analysis of the role of exiles in the political life of fifteenth-century Italy. The main focus is on the experiences and reactions of the exiles, and on how Italian states dealt with their own exiles and those of other powers. Siena, notorious in the 1480s for the numbers of her citizens in exile, is used as the model with which other cities are compared. Such a detailed study of the phenomenon of exile also provides alternative perspectives on the nature and power of governments in fifteenth-century Italy, and on ideas about the legitimacy of political authority and political action. 410 0$aCambridge studies in Italian history and culture. 606 $aExiles$zItaly$xHistory 606 $aExiles$xGovernment policy$zItaly$xHistory 607 $aItaly$xHistory$y15th century 615 0$aExiles$xHistory. 615 0$aExiles$xGovernment policy$xHistory. 676 $a325/.21/094509024 700 $aShaw$b Christine$c(Italian Renaissance historian),$0500264 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456204203321 996 $aThe politics of exile in Renaissance Italy$92447463 997 $aUNINA
