I don't normally read non-fiction, and when it doesn't it's modern feminism, queer theory etc. History is something I recognise as important but also something I left behind as soon as possible (I think, looking back, I was not impressed by UK school priorities and British-supremacy which pervaded the same topics over and over)

So, I thoroughly enjoyed this - even if I never type "renaissance" again. I also look forward to taking the information forward to an (eventual) reread of Palmer's (already) amazing Terra Ignota series
