Reviews
"The Globe on Paper is a superb examination of a collection of texts not usually studied together. In this tight, coherent study centered on sixteenth-century writers' attempts to compose unified narratives out of what at first blush seemed a plurality of pasts, Marcocci offers a valuable reinterpretation of some well-known sixteenth-century histories, presenting a new way of reading the subgenre of Renaissance histories of the world, while elucidating the creativity and innovation that characterized the writing of history during the ""open Renaissance"" of the sixteenth century. * Andrew Devereux, University of California, San Diego, Journal of Modern History *"
