Excerpt from The Two First Centuries of Florentine History: The Republic and Parties at the Time of Dante This concluding volume treats of the revolution that took its name from Giano della Bella, and completed the overthrow of the feudal nobility. It then goes on to describe the ensuing and, perhaps, most involved and difficult period of Florentine history. Old parties are now transformed, while a larger and ever increasing number of divisions and subdivisions makes it very diffi cult to trace the general outline of events which are indeed so tangled and interlaced that it is often impossible to distinguish where any one of them begins or comes to an end. Yet the period has an extraordinary significance. It is not only the moment in which the mediaeval Com mune entered on the process of disintegration that prepared the way for the society of the Renaissance, but it also marks the hour when Italian art and literature sprang into being, and in which we behold Dante Alighieri filling a gigantic place and taking a very active part in the noisy chaos of political affairs. Unless those affairs be well comprehended, it were impossible to arrive at any clear appreciation of Dante's life and works. We have there fore attempted to condense those events in such wise as to bring their organic unity to the reader's notice, and afford the best elucidation in our power of their meaning and purpose.
