Focusing on an extensive variety of descriptions, the book demonstrates that no one narrative of Venice prevailed in the early modern European imagination, and that authors continuously adapted geographical descriptions to changing political circumstances. In doing so, it shows the importance of studying geographical representation and early modern state formation together. Moreover, it challenges the long-standing concept of the myth of Venice, by showing that Renaissance observers never saw the city of Venice and the Venetian Terraferma in a monolithic way"-- $c Provided by publisher. 651 0 $a Venice (Italy) $x Description and travel. 651 0 $a Venice (Italy) $x Politics and government $y 697-1508. 651 0 $a Venice (Italy) $x Historiography. 650 0 $a Renaissance $z Venice. $z Venice. 650 0 $a Political geography. 650 0 $a Pilgrims and pilgrimages $z Venice $z Venice $x History $y To 1500. 650 0 $a Travelers' writings $x History and criticism. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Toffolo, Sandra. $t Describing the city, describing the state $d Leiden ; Boston : Brill, [2020] $z 9789004428201 $w (DLC) 2020018157 830 0 $a Studies in medieval and Reformation traditions ; $v 221. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240305043212.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E0BD7BC4047611EB89AE83802EECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
