Review title: Separate Essays create confusion
Product review: I was very disappointed with this book, because it isa compilation of scholarly articles all written ina verbose convoluted style. The articles do not flow smoothlyand the book is not to be read as a history flowing from one chapter to another. I do not feel this is a useful history of Italy. It is not an easily understood survey, and the writings expect too much previous knowledge of the history of Italy to be appealing to a beginning reader.
