Management and Resolution of Conflict and Rivalries in Renaissance Europe

by Florence Alazard (Contributor), Marc Laureys (Editor), David A Lines (Editor)

This is the third and final volume of essays issuing from the Leverhulme International Network 'Renaissance Conflict and Cultural Polemics in Europe, c. 1300-c. 1650'. The overall aim of the network was to examine the various ways in which conflict and rivalries made a positive contribution to cultural production and change during the Renaissance. The present volume, which contains papers delivered at the third colloquium, draws that examination to a close by considering a range of different strategies deployed in the period to manage conflict and rivalries and to bring them to a positive resolution. The papers explore these developments in the context of political, diplomatic, social, institutional, religious, and art history.
