Colin Rose, "A Renaissance of Violence: Homicide in Early Modern Italy" (Cambridge UP, 2019)
b'On this episode of New Books in History, Jana Byars talks with Colin Rose, Assistant Professor of History at Brock University in St. Catherine\\u2019s, Ontario, Canada, about his new book, A Renaissance of Violence: Homicide in Early Modern Italy (Cambridge University Press, 2019). Seventeenth-century Bologna saw a severe uptick of homicide, the result of several factors that we discuss here. Beyond just a discussion of the book and its impact on our understanding of early modern Italy, Colin talks about his source material in detail, providing a small primer on the workings of an early modern criminal court. This makes for a lively conversation between two very happy historians about the joys of archival work.\\nJana Byars is the academic director of SIT Amsterdam\\u2019s study abroad program, Gender and Sexuality in an International Perspective.\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
