描述
In Forged in the Shadow of Mars , Peter W. Sposato traces chivalry's powerful influence on the mentalitè and behavior of a sizeable segment of the elite in late medieval Florence. He finds that the strenuous knights and men-at-arms of the Florentine chivalric elite—a cultural community comprised of men from both traditional and newly emerged elite lineages—embraced a chivalric ideology that was fundamentally martial and violent. Chivalry helped to shape a common identity among these men based on the profession of arms and the ready use of violence against both their peers and those they perceived to be their social inferiors. This violence, often transgressive in nature, was not only crucial to asserting and defending personal, familial, and corporate honor, but was also inherently praiseworthy. In this way, Sposato highlights the sharp differences between chivalry and the more familiar civic ideology of the popolo grasso, the Florentine mercantile and banking elite who came to dominate Florence politically and economically during the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries.
As a result, in Forged in the Shadow of Mar s, Sposato challenges the traditional scholarly view of chivalry as foreign to the social and cultural landscape of Florence and contests its reputation as a civilizing force. By reexamining the connection between chivalric literature and actual practice and identity formation among historical knights and men-at-arms, he likewise provides an important corrective to assumptions about the nature of elite violence and identity in medieval Italian cities.

In Forged in the Shadow of Mars, Peter W. Sposato traces chivalric ideology's powerful influence on the worldview and behavior of the elites of late medieval Florence. Sposato's work challenges traditional views of chivalry as foreign to the city-state's social and cultural landscape and contests its reputation as a civilizing force. In contrast to the mercantile and banking elites with whom they competed for political power and economic resources, Florentine chivalric elites chose to base their identities on the profession of arms rather than on more lucrative and pacific occupations. They also utilized violence against their peers to assert and defend their honor against those they perceived as socially inferior, reinforcing their claims of social superiority. Closely examining the ideological underpinnings of political violence in thirteenth- and fourteenth-century Florence and their connection to the chivalric values promoted in literary texts, Forged in the Shadow of Mars shows how chivalric elites played an important role in transforming the city-state into the dominant territory of north-central Italy. Sposato also provides an important corrective to assumptions about the nature of elite violence in medieval Italian cities, complicating the familiar understanding of Italian communal elites as a homogeneous group animated by mercantile and civic values

"Challenges the current understanding of elite culture in late medieval Florence by arguing that chivalric ideology, traditionally considered by scholars to be foreign to the social and cultural landscape of late medieval Italian cities, played a major role in shaping the mentality and behavior of many Florentine elites, especially members of ancient lineages. This book offers the first examination of chivalric culture and its practitioners, who played an important but understudied role in the transformation of Florence into the dominant territorial state in north-central Italy"-- Provided by publisher
