It was a society characterized by measure and control, by a separation of private from public concerns, by self-cultivation and self-conscious role playing on the part of its leading members, and by an inward and personal, rather than out-ward and public, social orientation. In a new aesthetics of comportment and art, and in a variety of other ways, European society distanced itself from ancient solidarities and archaic values and endorsed very different forms of civil taste and behavior. The gradual tilt toward this new conception of society, so recognizably "modern," is the subject of Marvin Becker's richly allusive essay on social change in Western Europe. Becker be-gins with a study of social and cultural developments in Tuscany from the thirteenth to six-teenth centuries. Here the limits and constraints exercised by an overdetermined world of obligation, feudal solidarity, and communal restriction were first put at risk, in the presentation of alternative social and moral points of view in literature and by the appearance of new actors in the political life of cities. Against the ills of the old communal society was set a rhetoric of good speech and good government, presented to the public in its own tongue. By the early sixteenth century, Castiglione could distinguish in The Book of the Courtier between an inferior artificial knowledge and sapienza that enabled individuals to live civile, in society. By the sixteenth century, the new civility began to make its appearance in England. The links between noble lineage and social power weakened and in their place emerged a new order based not on hospitality, charity, and honorific violence, but on a different set of humanist civil values which saw society as an artificial construct and civility as a noble art."

Volume One traces the decline of the communal paideia in its political, social, and cultural aspects. Through an intensive examination of the fiscal and juridical records of the period and the documents of contemporary literature, Dr. Becker demonstrates the relationship between the death of communal ideals and the centralization of political power, and between the emergence of a strong middle class and a respect for public law. He shows the patricians discovering a community of interest with the burghers,and the vendetta being replaced by courts of law. Finally, he traces the growing ability of the Florentice citizenry to cope with crisis through the newly strengthened organs of the replic. 263 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions etc.).
