Description

Explore the social and cultural life of Renaissance Rome through the lens of microhistory. Roman Tales: A Reader's Guide to the Art of Microhistory provides a deep look into the specific methods and mindsets used to reconstruct the past from small-scale events. This Routledge publication moves beyond broad historical sweeps to examine individual lives and unexpected occurrences that reveal the reality of the era. Readers follow eight distinct stories that bring the period to life. The narrative covers a wide range of human experiences, from a Christian-Jewish picnic and an embassy-driven attack on Rome's police to the mysteries of a magic prophetic mirror and an immured mad hermit. You will also encounter the lives of a stolen dwarf, the misadventures involving a stolen roll of velvet, a bizarre elopement, and the story of a thieving child. By analyzing these specific cases, the book examines the resources and gaps that shape how history is told and understood.
