In this comprehensive history of Genoa, Steven Epstein traces the city's transformation from an obscure port into the capital of a small but thriving republic with an extensive overseas empire. His story bridges six centuries of medieval Renaissance history, interweaving political events, economic trends, social conditions, and cultural accomplishments. Profiling the ordinary men and women of Genoa as well as the nobles and merchants who governed the city, Epstein seeks to capture the full richness and eclectic nature of the Genoese people during their most vibrant centuries.
Steven A. Epstein is professor of history at the University of Colorado at Boulder. His books include Wage Labor and Guilds in Medieval Europe and Speaking of Slavery: Color, Ethnicity, and Human Bondage in Italy.
