Review of a historical novel on Florence and the Inquisition
The critique discusses a novel set in medieval Florence with a focus on the Inquisition. It notes many characters including monks, nobles, and scholars, praising historical detail but criticizing the narrative for lacking vivid character life. It highlights the Bridge Brethren, Florence’s early magistrates, and contrasts the era’s harsh oversight with modern times. The piece also praises Landseer engravings and a collection on English art and industry within a broader review.
