We think of the Renaissance as a shining era of human achievement - a pinnacle of artistic genius and humanist brilliance, the time of Shakespeare, Michelangelo, and Montaigne. Yet it was also an age of constant, harrowing warfare. Armies, not philosophers, shaped the face of Europe as modern nation-states emerged from feudal society. In 'Furies', one of the leading scholars of Renaissance history captures the dark reality of the period in a gripping narrative mosaic.
