Plotting Social Hierarchies in the Renaissance - HTAV

In response to the questions and discussion after my lecture today, I hope you will find
the following resources of use in your teaching and own reading (websites with large
primary source collections are on the next slide):
• Cecilia Hewlett, Rural Communities in Renaissance Tuscany: Religious Identities and Local Loyalties, Brepols,
2008.
• Margaret L. King and Albert Rabil, eds, Her Immaculate Hand: Selected Works by and about the Women
Humanists of Quattrocento Italy, Center for Medieval and Early Renaissance Studies, Binghamton N. Y., 1983.
• Mary Rogers and Paola Tinagli, eds, Women in Italy, 1350-1650: Ideals and Realities: A Sourcebook,
Manchester University Press, 2005. *An excellent collection of short, translated primary sources by and about women;
good for students.
• Nicholas Terpstra, Lost Girls: Sex and Death in Renaissance Florence, Johns Hopkins University Press, 2010.
• Richard C. Trexler, Power and Dependence in Renaissance Florence, Pegasus Press, 1998. Comprises three short,
readable volumes: “ The Children of Renaissance Florence,” “The Women of Renaissance Florence,” “ The Workers of
Renaissance Florence.” (Apologies, it was Trexler, not Terpstra who wrote these little books.)
