Review:
"While neither a microhistory nor a social history, Crabb's careful treatment of the Strozzi is an excellent introduction to Florentine society and a Renaissance family."
---Jacqueline Murray, University of Guelph, American Historical Review, April 2002
-- (04/30/2002)
." . . a sensitive, close analysis of the Strozzi letters considered in a rich bibliographic tradition that presents a more nuanced role for upper-class women in Florentine society, argues for the importance of extended kinship ties, and explicates the complex meaning of honor and profit from the details of one patrician family's history."
