Recensione

`Clarke's research is based almost entirely on political documents, including correspondence ... there is much material in this book for social historians'Journal of Interdisciplinary History

`a noteworthy addition to the prosopographical tradition of Medicean studies..., Clarke's narrative is absorbing and clear, integrating its microhistorical findings with major developments of 15th-century Florentine history. This is a book serious students of 15th-century Florentine history will need to have at hand.' T. C. P. Zimmermann, Choice Jul/Aug '92

'This book has the scholarly merits of a long-matured thesis. The research upon which it is based has been painstakingly done and the material has been intelligently assembled to produce a valuable book.'John N. Stephens, University of Edinburgh, History '92

'deeply and meticulously researched book ... Clarke's discussions provide rich detail ... she has written a solid book'Anthony Molho, Brown University, American Historical Review, December 1992

'The book's strength lies in its precision ... well-documented and well-written study.'Carol Bresnahan Menning, University of Toledo, The Historian

'In Clarke's discussion of the Medici ascendancy, its attendant problems and its inherent instability, her book is closely and suitably aligned with Rubinstein's work. Clarke has done much to clarify how the business of the regime was conducted in a symbiotic relationship between the Medici and their powerful and equally ambitious friends ... this book will rightfully take its place among the standard works in the field of Florentine Quattrocento studies.'Roger J. Crum, University of Dayton, Renaissance Studies, Vol. 7, No. 1, March 1993

Clarke has provided helpful illumination of a dark chapter in the making of the regime through the story of one of its rival families. (Dalhousie Review)
